Hymn to God the Father
WILT Thou forgive that sin where I begun,Which was my sin, though it were done before?Wilt Thou forgive that sin through which I run,And do run still, though still I do deplore?When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;For I have more.
Wilt Thou forgive that sin, which I have wonOthers to sin, and made my sins their door?Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shunA year or two and wallowed in a score?When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;For I have more.
I have a sin of fear, that when I’ve spunMy last thread, I shall perish on the shore;But swear by Thyself that at my death Thy SonShall shine, as He shines now and heretofore.And having done that, Thou hast done;I fear no more.
