To the hall of the feast
came the sinful and fair;
She heard in the city
that Jesus was there;
Unheeding the splendor
that blazed on the board,
She silently knelt
at the feet of the Lord,
She silently knelt
at the feet of the Lord.
The frown and the murmur
went round thro’ them all,
That one so unhallowed
should tread in that hall;
And some said the poor
would be objects more meet,
As the wealth of her perfume
she shower’d on His feet,
As the wealth of her perfume
she shower’d on His feet.
She heard but the Savior;
she spoke but with sighs;
She dared not look up
to the heaven of His eyes;
And hot tears gushed forth
at each heave of her breast,
As her lips to His sandals
were throbbingly pressed;
As her lips to His sandals
were throbbingly pressed.
In the sky, after tempest,
as shineth the bow,
In glance of the sunshine,
as melteth the snow,
He looked on that lost one:
“her sins were forgiv’n,”
And the sinner went forth
in the beauty of Heav’n;
And the sinner went forth
in the beauty of Heav’n.
