A Hymn To God The Father Comments

Gud

Many Thanks

I have always cherished this short poem, encompassing as it does, and in beautiful terms, the issues of original sin and Redemption.

An absolutely stunning poem! Confessing to all his mortal sins. And being forgiven. And then, to confess to his fear of death. Not only is he forgiven, but he sees the light of Jesus. And his fear is gone. In Soul's Journey - Parts I - V, I write about my near death encounter with Jesus. So poems like this totally resonate with me.

Nice poem,

(A Hymn To God The Father - Poem by John Donne.) Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have won Others to sin, and made my sin their door? ... I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun My last thread, I shall perish on the shore; But 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. Gives me goose bumps. A prayer of penitence. Donne, conscious of his spiritual state, and his responsibility to God, seeks all forgiveness in preparation of his final moments of life- whenever that might have been. A prayer applicable to all. Well penned.

The last line is wrong. It states I have no more I fear no more also makes since. But there are critics that say he could be talking about his wife that died. Her last name as More before he married her. This poem was written 6 years after her death. The last line can very easily have two meanings. I have no more sin or lost love?

Love and submission to god and forgive of sins wonderful poem and much liked.

I hope God has forgiven John of all his sins... amazing I hope he forgives me of my past, present and future sins..

a celebrated poem which shows Donne totally different from his love poems... depicting the last moments' fears of the consequence of sins he has been committing, so earnest he looks in his demand/request of forgiveness...Donne is EVERYMAN here! ! !

It's musing with such a classical tune, the sin already been diluted by the essence of virtue. Fantastic beauty of construction yet vibrating loudly through the nerves...... I feel the quality of creation which brings an piece of art beyond the particular timing zone. Thanks to PH.............................................................. Pranab k c

Donne seeking forgiveness for that which he was born into and continues to propagate-original sin. His writing is so brilliant, that his guilt is palpable.

I fear no more! Awesome poem!

I enjoyed the ending of this poem but definetly appreciated it a little more once i re-read it

This is classic trash that has done the world more harm than good.

Highlights nicely, with humility, at the ending, of having GODS son as our savior for our weak failings in life's lusts.
