| Text: | Jesus of Nazareth |
| Tune: | JESUS OF NAZARETH |
| Composer: | T. E. Perkins |
1 What means this eager, anxious throng,
Which moves with busy haste along;
These wondrous gath'rings day by day?
What means this strange commotion, say?
In accents hush'd, the throng reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by;"
In accents hushed, the throng reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
