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 thy self, 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.
