No wonder he's anonymous, he is very old and probably has forgotten his name! An Evening Prayer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/6/08 This Hymn was written by C. Maude Bat­ters­by in 1911 If I have wounded any soul today, If I have caused one foot to go astray, If I have walked in my own willful way, Dear Lord, forgive! If I have uttered idle words or vain, If I have turned aside from want or pain, Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain, Dear Lord, forgive! If I have been perverse or hard, or cold, If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold, When Thou hast given me some fort to hold, Dear Lord, forgive! Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee; Forgive the secret sins I do not see; O guide me, love me and my keeper be, Dear Lord, Amen. third verse | Reviewer: Barry Bailey | 5/15/07 If I have been perverse or hard or cold If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold When Thou hast given me some fort to hold Dear Lord, forgive An Evening Prayer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/27/07 I knew the man who composed the lyrics to this song. He had the words stolen from him back in the 40s. He was a friend of the family, named Cliff Ferking. I've always loved this song. My mother used to sing it to us when we were kids.
