　　　　　　　　　I


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.





　　　　　　　　　II.


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 wallowed in a score?


　　　　When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done,


　　　　　　　For I have more.





　　　　　　　　　III.


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.
