The Ungrateful Nine
Ten lepers were cleansed, but only one
1
Ten lepers were cleansed, but only oneReturned to give God glory;O, where are the nine, ungrateful nine?One only tells the story.
Chorus.
Ye whose sins have been forgiven,Glorify the Lord;Jesus is the great Physician,Praise his holy name.
2
The world was redeemed, but O how fewAccept the great salvation!Unmindful of Him who died to saveEach tribe, and tongue, and nation.
3
If you have been healed and purified,Tell others the glad story;Remember 'tis sin not to returnAnd give to God the glory.
4
Be not like the nine, be like the one,Ye who from Christ still tarry;There's pardon for you, O, come to-day!Christ will your burden carry.
