Explore "For Thine own Sake, o my God" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Wearied of sinning, wearied of repentance, / Wearied of self, I turn, my God, to Thee; / To Thee, my Judge, on Whose all-righteous sentence / Hangs mine eternity: / I turn to Thee, I plead Thyself with Thee, -- / Be pitiful to me.
Wearied I loathe myself, I loathe my sinning, / My stains, my festering sores, my misery: / Thou the Beginning, Thou ere my beginning / Didst see and didst foresee / Me miserable, me sinful, ruined me, -- / I plead Thyself with Thee.
I plead Thyself with Thee Who art my Maker, / Regard Thy handiwork that cries to Thee; / I plead Thyself with Thee Who wast partaker / Of mine infirmity, / Love made Thee what Thou art, the love of me, -- / I plead Thyself with Thee.
