Luke 7:36-39 (Listen)

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. 37 And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” (ESV)

Hymn : TLH 276 : Come unto Me, Ye Weary Hymnary.org link

1. “Come unto Me, ye weary, 
And I will give you rest.” 
O blessed voice of Jesus, 
Which comes to hearts opprest! 
It tells of benediction, 
Of pardon, grace, and peace, 
Of joy that hath no ending, 
Of love which cannot cease. 

2. “Come unto Me, ye wanderers; 
And I will give you light.” 
O loving voice of Jesus, 
Which comes to cheer the night! 
Our hearts were filled with sadness, 
And we had lost our way; 
But Thou hast brought us gladness 
And songs at break of day. 

3. “Come unto Me, ye fainting, 
And I will give you life.” 
O cheering voice of Jesus, 
Which comes to aid our strife! 
The Foe is stern and eager, 
The fight is fierce and long; 
But Thou hast made us mighty 
And stronger than the strong. 

4. And whosoever cometh, 
I will not cast him out.” 
O patient love of Jesus, 
Which drives away our doubt, 
Which, though we be unworthy 
Of love so great and free, 
Invites us very sinners 
To come, dear Lord, to Thee!
