<p>Friend of sinners, Lord of glory,<br>
|
|
Lowly, mighty, Brother, King!<br>
|
|
Musing o’er Thy wondrous story,<br>
|
|
Grateful we Thy praises sing:<br>
|
|
Friend to help us, cheer us, save us,<br>
|
|
In Whom pow’r and pity blend—<br>
|
|
Praise we must the grace which gave us<br>
|
|
Jesus Christ, the sinners’ Friend.</p>
|
|
<p>Friend Who never fails nor grieves us,<br>
|
|
Faithful, tender, constant, kind;<br>
|
|
Friend Who at all times receives us,<br>
|
|
Friend Who came the lost to find.<br>
|
|
Sorrow soothing, joys enhancing,<br>
|
|
Loving until life shall end;<br>
|
|
Then conferring bliss entrancing,<br>
|
|
Still, in heaven, the sinners’ Friend.</p>
|
|
<p>O to love and serve Thee better!<br>
|
|
From all evil set us free;<br>
|
|
Break, Lord, every sinful fetter;<br>
|
|
Be each thought conformed to Thee:<br>
|
|
Looking for Thy bright appearing,<br>
|
|
May our spirits upward tend;<br>
|
|
Till no longer doubting, fearing,<br>
|
|
We behold the sinners’ Friend.</p>
