This short hymn is a poem by John Donne. The hymn is absolutely beautiful, and perfect for Lent.
Wilt Thou forgive that sin where I begun,
Which is my sin though it were done before?
Wilt Thou forgive those sins in 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 in which I 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’ve spun
My last thread I shall perish on that 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.
