Christ the Friend of Sinners

Tune: St Cuthbert

(\'Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed\')

John 8 v.1-11 parts

******

Woman caught in adultery

They brought to Jesus, see

Wanting her to be stoned were they

With no mercy

 

But Jesus, Friend of sinners, he

Said, who without sin be

Let him cast first stone at her, they

Did leave that day

 

Convicted by their own conscience

Their own sins they did sense

They went away, and none remained

Stoning not gained

 

Jesus said to woman, Where are

Your accusers? They far

From you now, has no one condemned

You to death\'s end?

 

She said, No one, Lord, and Jesus

As He does say t ous

Said, Neither I condemn you, go

My pardon know

 

Go, and sin no more, I forgive

You, through my power live

May we, Lord, accept you our Friend

E\'en to our end
