A Hymn to God the Father ; DONNE John

A 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,5
   For I have more.
 
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have won
 Others to sin, and made my sin their door?
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun
 A year or two, but wallow'd in, a score?10
  When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
   For I have more.
 
I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun
 My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
But swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son15
 Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;
  And, having done that, thou hast done;
   I fear no more.
