| | (Yom Kippur, 5662.)
IF I have failed, my God, to see | |
| That Thy great Love was guiding me; | |
| If I have missed the open path | |
| Of Truth, which e’er Thy sanction hath; | |
| If, busy with the passing hour, | 5 |
| I noted not Thy glorious Power; | |
| And, ’mid the boast and pomp of things, | |
| Restrained my spirit on its wings; | |
| Then, Father, show me Grace I pray, | |
| And lead me toward the righteous way; | 10 |
| Then, Lord of Hosts, compassion me, | |
| And let Thy Love my shelter be! | | | | |
