Lord, Forgive!

Author: E. A. H. Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #2 (1894) First Line: “Holy Father, freely pardon” Refrain First Line: O forgive, O forgive Lyrics: 1 “Holy Father, freely pardon,” Is our earnest plea today; “Oh, forgive Thy sinful children, Ere this hour shall pass away!” Refrain: O forgive, O forgive, Grant us peace and forgiveness today; O forgive, O forgive, Ere this hour shall pass away. 2 Memories around us gather Of the time we left Thy side, Chasing visionary pleasure, Wandering from Thee, our Guide. [Refrain] 3 Tho’ts of undone duties meet us, Tho’ts of words we might have said, Opportunities neglected, Now, alas! forever fled. [Refrain] 4 So we kneel, Thy contrite children, Kneel and earnestly entreat That our sins may be forgiven; As we press the mercy seat. [Refrain] Tune Title: [“Holy Father, freely pardon”]
