John Donne, "A Hymn To God The Father"

Will you forgive that sin where I begun,
Which was my sin, though it were done before?

Will you forgive that sin through which I run
And do run still, though still I do deplore?

When You are done,
You are not done
I have more.

Will you forgive that sin which I have won
Others to sin and made my sin their door?

Will you forgive that sin that I did shun
A year or two but wallowed in a score?

When You are done
You are not done
I have more.

I have a sin of fear that when I’ve spun
My last thread I shall perish on the shore.

Swear by Thyself, that at my death Your Son
Shall shine as He shines now and here-to-fore.

Having done that,
You are done,
And I fear no more.
