The Penitent in tears,
Behind the Saviour stood;
She washed his feet, and with her hair
Wiped off the briny flood.
Expressive of her love,
She then the ointment pours,
Upon his dear majestic head,
And silently adores.
Lo, though the scene is changed,
And Jesus reigns on high,
His tender pity is the same,
And faith can bring him nigh.
Oh may our grief for sin,
But undissembled prove;
Then like the penitent of old,
Our hearts shall melt with love.
