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 won Others to sin, and made my sins their door? Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun A 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 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.
