How Kind The Good Samaritan

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11911 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How kind the good Samaritan To him who fell among the thieves! Thus Jesus pities fallen men, And heals the wounds the soul receives. 2 Oh! I remember well the day, When sorely wounded, nearly slain, Like that poor man I bleeding lay, And groaned for help, but groaned in vain. 3 Men saw me in this helpless case, And passed without compassion by; Each neighbor turned away his face, Unmoved by my mournful cry. 4 But He whose name had been my scorn (As Jews Samaritans despise) Came when He saw me thus forlorn, With love and pity in His eyes. 5 Gently He raised me from the ground, Pressed me to lean upon His arm; And into every gaping wound, He poured His own all-healing balm. 6 Unto His church my steps He led, The house prepared for sinners lost; Gave charge I should be clothed and fed, And took upon Him all the cost. 7 Thus saved from death, from want secured, I wait till He again shall come, When I shall be completely cured, And take me to His heavenly home. 8 There through eternal boundless days When nature’s wheel no longer rolls; How shall I love, adore, and praise, This good Samaritan to souls!
