Ketil Bjørnstad - A Hymn To God The Father lyrics

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. 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. 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 d**h Thy son Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore; And, having done that, Thou hast done; I fear no more.
