IX Sin: The Trouble We're In - Day 7

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 wonOthers to sin, and made my sin their door?Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shunA year or two, but wallow'd 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 spunMy last thread, I shall perish on the shore;But swear by thyself, that at my death thy SonShall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;And, having done that, thou hast done;I fear no more.
