Friend Of Sinners, Lord Of Glory

Friend of sinners, Lord of glory,

Lowly, mighty, Brother, King!

Musing o'er Thy wondrous story,

Grateful we Thy praises sing:

Friend to help us, cheer us, save us,

In Whom pow'r and pity blend-

Praise we must the grace which gave us

Jesus Christ, the sinners' Friend.

Friend Who never fails nor grieves us,

Faithful, tender, constant, kind;

Friend Who at all times receives us,

Friend Who came the lost to find.

Sorrow soothing, joys enhancing,

Loving until life shall end;

Then conferring bliss entrancing,

Still, in heaven, the sinners' Friend.

O to love and serve Thee better!

From all evil set us free;

Break, Lord, every sinful fetter;

Be each thought conformed to Thee:

Looking for Thy bright appearing,

May our spirits upward tend;

Till no longer doubting, fearing,

We behold the sinners' Friend.
