Remember Christ, our Sav­ior
Who paid the debts you owed
To God the hea­ven­ly Fa­ther
And to you mer­cy showed.
When oth­ers sin against you
Be rea­dy to for­give.
Since you have been for­giv­en
With them in peace now live.

Go first to find your bro­ther,
Your sis­ter or your friend.
Do not re­veal to oth­ers
The hurt you need to mend.
Confront in hum­ble spi­rit
The one whose sin caused pain
That he might seek for­give­ness
And you a friend re­gain.

When bit­ter anger tempts you
To nurse your brok­en heart
With brood­ing thoughts of hat­red
And vows of ven­geance start.
Pray to the Lord of Par­don
For pow­er to re­lease
Each self­ish act against you
That rage might in you cease.

O Fa­ther, Son, and Spi­rit,
O pa­tient Tri­ni­ty,
Who lifts from us sin’s bur­den
And from its debt sets free.
Grant us the will to par­don
All those who us of­fend
That we might en­ter Hea­ven
With them when ag­es end.
