John Donne - A Hymn To God The FatherJohn Donne - A Hymn To God The Father
Work rating: Medium


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 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 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.
