A Hymn to God the Father

Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun
Which is my sin though it were done before?
Wilt thou forgive those sins, 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 by which I've 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?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done
For I have more

I have a sin of fear, that when I've spun
My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
But swear by thy self, that at my death thy Son
Shall shinе as he shines now, and herеtofore;
And having done that, thou hast done
I fear no more
