Neither Do I Condemn Thee

“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O words of wondrous grace;
Thy sins were born upon the cross,
Believe, and go in peace.

Refrain

“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O sing it o’er and o’er;
“Neither do I condemn thee,
Go and sin no more.”

“Neither do I condemn thee,”
For there is therefore now
No condemnation for thee,
As at the cross you bow.

Refrain

“Neither do I condemn thee,”
I came not to condemn;
I came from God to save thee,
And turn thee from thy sin.

Refrain

“Neither do I condemn thee,”
O praise the God of grace;
O praise His Son our Savior,
For this His word of peace.
