A Hymn To God, The Father. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

A Hymn To God, The Father.



Will you forgive the sin
That I have done before,
That through which I have run
And that I could not avoid?
Will you forgive the sin
That I led others to do?
Will you forgive the sin
That I did without knowing?
To doubt if you forgive
Itself is a sin that I make.
Punish me if you want
But assure me salvation.
[Inspired by the poem under the same title by John Donne 1572-1631]
