Author: Newman Hall Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: Friend of sinners! Lord of glory! Lyrics: 1 Friend of sinners! Lord of glory!
Lowly, mighty! Brother, King!
Musing o'er thy wondrous story,
Fain would I thy praises sing.
2 Friend to help us, comfort, save us,
In whom power and pity blend,
Praise we must the grace which gave us
Jesus Christ, the sinner's Friend.
3 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!
4 Sorrow soothing, joys enhancing,
Loving until life shall end,
Then conferring bliss entrancing,
Still in heaven the sinner's Friend.
5 Oh, to love and serve thee better!
From all evil set us free;
Break, Lord, every sinful fetter,
Be each thought conformed to thee. Topics: Advent of Christ To Kingdom; Christ Example of; Christ Friend; Christ King of Glory; Christ Prince of Glory; Conformity Scripture: Proverbs 18:24 Used With Tune: WILSON
