Our misery reached his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes, To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows, But costs his heart a groan. 3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.

"Friend of Sinners"

Author: John Newton Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: Christ Compassion of First Line: One there is above all others Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glories raised, He rejoices in the same; Still he calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another What he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother Loves us though we treat him thus: Though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still. 5 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought.
