by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Also auch wir vergeben unsern Schuldigern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nun lasse ganz der Seele Flug
Zu dir, o Herr, mich heben,
[Lehr']1 mich Feindes Schuld und Trug vergeben,
Nicht soll des Hasses trüber Wahn
Mir [Geist und Sinn]2 umweben.
Ich will, o Herr, wie Du gethan: Vergeben.
Tönt einst Dein Richterruf herab
Zu ew'gem Tod und Leben,
Mögst du auch mir, weil ich vergab: Vergeben.
