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 pow­er 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.
