“A Hymn to God the Father”
This piece sets the text of A Hymn to God the Father by John Donne (1572–1631), one of the most profound poets of the English metaphysical tradition. Written late in Donne’s life, the poem is a meditation on human frailty, forgiveness, and the eternal mercy of God. Donne’s introspective questions and quiet longing for redemption unfold with an emotional depth that resonates across centuries.
