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 won |
|
Others to sin? And, made my sin their door? |
|
Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun |
|
A year, or two, but 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 have spun |
|
My last thread, I shall perish on the shore; |
|
But swear by Thyself, that at my death Thy son |
|
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore; |
|
And, having done that, Thou hast done; |
|
I fear no more. |
