THE WOMAN OF LUKE 7

She came with tears to wash her Saviour's feet

And if her sins were cause for her to weep

So was the coldness shown by the Pharisee;

She came with hair to wipe her Saviour's feet

To show how much His footsteps were esteemed

Though Simon treated the Master as the least;

She came with lips to kiss the Saviour's feet

Because Christ made her happiness complete;

She came with myrrh, to balm the Saviour's feet,

Since instinct told His was a path of grief;

She came to kneel beside the Saviour's feet:

She went forgiven, trusted to go in peace.
