lyrics

Friend of Sinners
Words: Augustus Toplady, 1740-1788
Music: Jeff Koonce and Brian T Murphy, 2004

Redeemer! whither should I flee,
Or how escape the wrath to come?
The weary sinner flies to thee
For shelter from impending doom;

Smile on me, Gracious Lord,
and show Thyself the Friend of sinners now.

Beneath the shadow of thy cross
The heavy laden soul finds rest;
I would esteem the world but dross
So I might be of Christ possessed.

I’d seek my every joy in Thee;
Be thou both life and light to me.

Close to the highly shameful tree,
Jesus, my humbled soul would cleave;
Despised and crucified with thee;
With thee resolved to die and live.

The prayer and this ambition mine:
Living and dying to be thine.

There, fastened to the rugged wood
By holy love’s resistless chain,
And life deriving from thy blood;
Never to wander wide again.

There, may I bow my suppliant knee,
And own no other Lord but Thee.
