Thou knowest my heart and my innermost thought, The words I have spoken, the deeds I have wrought, My errors and failings I deeply regret, Forgive and forget! Forgive and forget! 4 I ask for no more; My light I extinguish and fasten the door, And seeking my chamber, betake me to rest, Assured that my slumber this night will be blest, I fondly confide to Thy care and control My body and soul, My body and soul.
