"FORGIVE"
A word divine! Upon a Cross
'Twas hallowed evermore;
A word that surely bringeth peace,
When human hearts are sore.
'Twas hallowed evermore;
A word that surely bringeth peace,
When human hearts are sore.
Forgive! A simple word—and yet
So hard, so hard to say;
When one is grieved, misunderstood,
The sorrow clouds our day.
So hard, so hard to say;
When one is grieved, misunderstood,
The sorrow clouds our day.
Thou shouldst forgive, "till seven times"
What hath the Saviour said?
"How oft has He forgiven thee?"
Ask this, O soul, instead.
What hath the Saviour said?
"How oft has He forgiven thee?"
Ask this, O soul, instead.
