First Line: Oh, thou who dost the sinner meet
Last Line: "go thou, and sin no more!"
Subject(s): Forgiveness; Clemency
O THOU who dost the sinner meet,
Fearing his garment's hem,
Think of the Master, and repeat,
"Neither do I condemn!"
And while the eager rabble stay,
Their storms of wrath to pour,
Think of the Master still, and say,
"Go thou, and sin no more!"
