Righteous Fa­ther, we have wronged Thee,
Underfoot Thy laws have cast:
Now we fain would serve Thee bet­ter,
O for­give us what is past.

Loving Je­sus, we have hurt Thee,
Yielded to temp­ta­tion’s blast:
Now we long to stand more firm­ly,
O for­give us what is past.

Holy Spir­it, we have grieved Thee,
Sin and death have held us fast:
Now we yearn for life and free­dom,
O for­give us what is past.

Father, Son, and Ho­ly Spir­it,
God eter­nal, first and last,
Penitent we kneel be­fore Thee,
O for­give us all the past.
