1.“Forgive our sins as we forgive,”You taught us, Lord, to pray;But You alone can grant us graceTo live the words we say.2.How can Your pardon reach and blessThe unforgiving heartThat broods on wrongs and will not letOld bitterness depart?3.In blazing light Your cross revealsThe truth we dimly knew:How trifling others’ debts to us;How great our debt to You!4.Lord, cleanse the depths within our soulsAnd bid resentment cease;Then, by Your mercy reconciled,Our lives will spread Your peace.
