Author: Josiah Conder, 1789-1855 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #349 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Christian Evidences Giving, Forgiving Lyrics: 1 Father, now Thy sinful child,
Through Thy love is reconciled,
By Thy pardoning grace I live;
Daily still I cry, Forgive.
2 Lord, forgive me day by day,
Debts I cannot hope to pay,
Duties I have left undone;
Evils I have failed to shun.
3 Pardon, Lord; and are there those
Who my debtors are or foes,
I, who by forgiveness live,
Here their trespasses forgive.
4 Much forgiven, may I learn
Love for hatred to return;
Then assured my heart shall be,
Thou, my God, hast pardoned me.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 6:12 Languages: English Tune Title: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
