An Evening Prayer Lyrics

Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: He Touched Me

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!

If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen.

Which album is this "full" version on...?
The "shortened version" (on "Peace") has only a modifed 1st & last verse as below:

If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one's foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive me!

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive my secret sins I do not see;
O guide watch o'er me, and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen

I must've been *really* tired last night...! [I saved a desktop link, to come back and see if there was a response...] On second-look, now, I see that you had ALREADY posted, at the top, the album name from which the lyrics (An Evening Prayer) were taken.
Thus, the "Question-Portion" of my post last eve is negated. "Thanks!"
