Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun,
______ was my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt ______ forgive that sin, through which I run,
And ______ run still, though still I do deplore?
When ______ hast done, thou hast not done,
For I ______ more.
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have ______
Others to sin, and made my sin their door?
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun
A year or two, but wallow'd in, a score?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
______ I have more.
I have a sin of fear, ______ when I have spun
My last thread, I ______ perish on the shore;
But swear by thyself, that ______ my death thy Son
Shall shine as he ______ now, and heretofore;
And, having done that, thou ______ done;
I fear no more.
