Offertory: “A Hymn To God The Father”
– John Ness Beck

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 still do run, 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’ve spun my last thread
I shall perish from the shore;
Swear by thyself, 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.
John Donne
