A Hymn to God the Father

A Hymn to God the Father

by: John Donne

Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun,

Which is 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 by 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;

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.

This is my memorization passage for October. I was a little late getting around to it, but I made it!!
