Sheet music
- 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.How can Your pardon reach and blessThe unforgiving heartThat broods on wrongs and will not letOld bitterness depart?
- 2In blazing light Your cross revealsThe truth we dimly knew;What trivial debts are owed to us,How great our debt to You!Lord, cleanse the depths within our souls,And bid resentment cease;Then, bound to all in bonds of love,Our lives will spread Your peace.
