299   Forgive Our Sins As We Forgive




[1]
"Forgive our sins as we forgive "
You taught us Lord to pray;
But You alone can grant us grace
To live the words we say.

[2]
How can Your pardon reach and bless
The unforgiving heart
That broods on wrongs and will not let
Old bitterness depart?

[3]
In blazing light Your cross reveals
The truth we dimly knew:
How trifling others debts to us;
How great our debt to You!

[4]
Lord cleanse the depths within our souls
And bid resentment cease;
Then by Your mercy reconciled
Our lives will spread Your peace.
