Irregular Theology

Lord, who has formed me out of mud,
And hast redeemed me through thy blood,
And sanctified me to do good;

Purge all my sins done heretofore:
For I confess my heavy score,
And I will strive to sin no more.

Enrich my heart, mouth, hands in me,
With faith, with hope, with charity;
That I may run, rise, rest with thee.

— George Herbert, “Trinity Sunday,” in The Complete English Poems (New York: Penguin, 1991), 61.  (via chary)
