God who comes for such as these Seeks and saves the fearful; Now the deaf can hear the dumb Sing away their weeping; Blind eyes see the injured come Walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen Where no roaring lion, Nothing evil or unclean Walks the road to Zion; Ransomed people homeward bound All your praises voicing, See your Lord with glory crowned.

One in spirit, one in life, one amid earth’s frequent strife, one in faith and one in love, one in hope of heav'n above.
