The Past

Author: Bessie Q. Jordan Hymnal: Joyful Sound #80 (1889) First Line: The past we never can undo Refrain First Line: O Lord, forgive, O Lord, receive Lyrics: 1 The past we never can undo, Tho’ with thrice bitter tears, And deepest gloom we it review,— ‘Tis sealed up with the years. Refrain: O Lord, forgive, O Lord, receive, And bless thy erring child; I do repent and now believe That thou art reconciled. 2 Could we but live it o’er again, How different it should be; We would not have this awful pain Which gnaws so constantly. [Refrain] 3 But it is gone beyond our reach, With all its weight of sin; And tho’ we mourn too deep for speech, ‘Twill never come again. [Refrain] 4 But God has given us the now,— The past himself will take; And if to him in faith we go He’ll save, for Jesus’ sake. [Refrain] 5 No matter what thy past may be, Just leave that all with Christ; He knows it all, yet calleth thee, And bids thee dare to trust. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The past we never can undo]
