| If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. (Matt. 5:23‑24) |
| When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any; that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:25) |
Thou who didst once suffer for sinners
Such bitter reproach and disdain,
Fill me with that same gentle spirit,
That reviled, still reviles not again. |
Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance,
Thy tender, compassionate grace,
That others beholding my face
The light of Thy likeness may trace. |
