晚禱

若我今日傷害他人心靈,若我今日使別人走錯路,若我今日照己心意偏行,求主赦免。

若我今日言語不合體統,若我今日不關懷人需要,因此使別人受傷害虧損,求主赦免。

若我今日對人冷落頑梗,若我今日只顧貪圖安逸,不願堅守神所交付職分,求主赦免。

求你赦免我所承認眾罪,求你赦免隱而未顯罪愆,求你常常引導愛護保守。阿門。

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 thro' 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.
