As we forgive those who trespass against us

Peter Cornelius

Now that the soul to Thee out pours

Heavenward Lord oh lift me:

Teach me to be toward all my foes forgiving,

Nor to let hatred enter in

Clouding my mind and spirit.

I'll be, o Lord, as Thou hast been, forgiving!

And when Thy judgement call shall sound

To summon dead and living,

As I forgave may'st Thou be found: forgiving.
