Luke 7:47: Much she loved her loving God

Much she loved her loving God,
Much forgiven by His grace.
Hence her large affections flow'd,
More increased by Jesu's praise:
Thus, when He hath purged our stain.
Glad we feel the guilt removed,
Dearly love our Lord again.
Us because He first hath loved.

Did our love the pardon buy?
Ours is but the' effect of His;
God doth freely justify.
Gives the reconciling kiss;
Then we fall and kiss His feet.
Much we love when much forgiven,
Hear Him every day repeat
"Saved by faith go on to heaven!"
