Wilt thou forgive that sin by humans begun
Which was my sin though it was done before
Wilt thou forgive that sin through which I run
And do run still, though still I do deplore
When Thou has done, Thou hast not done
For I have more, for I have more

Wilt thou forgive that sin by 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 has done, Thou hast not done
For I have more, for I have more

I have a sin of fear that when I've spun
My last thread, I will perish on the shore
Swear by thyself that at my death Thy son
Will shine as He shines now and heretofore
And having done, that Thou has done
I fear no more, I fear no more
