    A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion’s Hymns. (in long meter, as in “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow")


    Luke 7:42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?


    “The Pardoned Debtor”

    1. A guilty debtor, mean and poor,
    I owed five hundred pence, and more,
    And having nothing left to pay,
    I fear’d I should be cast away.

    2. But Jesus all my debt forgave,
    My nature took, and died to save;
    And though I nothing had to pay,
    He would not cast my soul away.

    3. His sov’reign grace shall be my boast,
    For I am bound to live Him most;
    Because when I had nought to pay,
    He took my debt of sin away.

    4. I’ll triumph in forgiving love,
    When I ascend to heaven above,
    And sing, in realms of ending day,
    I’m here! though I had nought to pay.
