1. Were not the sinful Mary's tears | |||
An offering worthy heaven, | |||
When o'er the faults of former years | |||
She wept, and was forgiven! | |||
2. When bringing every balmy sweet | |||
Her day of luxury stored, | |||
She o'er her Savior's hallowed feet | |||
The precious perfume poured.}} | |||

3. And wiped them wilh that golden hair, | |||
Where once the diamond shone, | |||
Though now those gems of grief were there | |||
Which shine for God alone! | |||
4. Were not those sweets so humbly shed, | |||
That hair, those weeping eyes, | |||
And the sunk heart, that inly bled, | |||
Heaven's noblest sacrifice.}} | |||
