Blind Bartimeus
Appears in 243 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:47-48 First Line: "Mercy; O thou son of David!" Lyrics: 1 "Mercy; oh thou Son of David!"
Thus blind Bartimeus pray'd;
Others by thy word are saved,
Now to me afford thine aid.
2 Many for his crying chid him,
But be call'd the louder still;
Till the gracious Savior bid him,
"Come, and ask me what you will."
3 Money was not what he wanted,
Tho' by begging us'd to live;
But he ask'd and Jesus granted,
Alms, which only he could give.
4 "Lord remove this grievous blindness,
Let my eyes behold the day."
Straight he saw, and won by kindness,
Follow'd Jesus in the way.
5 Oh! methinks I hear him praising,
Publishing to all around;
"Friends is not my case amazing?
What a Saviour I have found.
6 Oh! that all the blind but knew him,
And would be advis'd by me!
Surely would they hasten to him,
He would cause them all to see.
7 Now I freely leave my garment,
Follow Jesus in the way,
He will guide me by his counsel,
Bring me to eternal day." Topics: Mercy Bartimeus' prayer for
Blind Bartimeus
What mean this eager, anxious throng
Author: Emma Campbell Appears in 190 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:47 Lyrics: 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, pray?
In accents hushed the throng reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
In accents hushed the throng reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
2 Who is this Jesus? Why should he
The city move so mightily?
A passing stranger, has he skill
To move the multitude at will?
Again the stirring notes reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
Again the stirring notes reply:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
3 Jesus! 'tis he who once below
Man's pathway trod, 'mid pain and woe;
And burdened ones, where'er he came,
Brought out their sick, and deaf, and lame.
The blind rejoiced to hear they cry:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
4 Today, as then, from place to place
His holy footprints we can trace;
He pauseth at our threshold, nay,
He enters, condescends to stay:
Shall we not gladly raise the cry
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?"
Shall we not gladly raise the cry
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?"
5 Ho! all ye heavy-laden come!
Here's pardon, comfort, rest, and home;
Ye wanderers from a Father's face,
Return, accept his proffered grace.
Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
Ye temped ones, there's refuge nigh:
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
6 But if you still this call refuse,
And all his wondrous love abuse,
Soon will he sadly from you turn,
Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn.
"Too late! too late!" will be the cry
"Jesus of Nazareth has passed by."
"Too late! too late!" will be the cry
"Jesus of Nazareth has passed by." Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Used With Tune: JESUS OF NAZARETH PASSETH BY

Supplicating—Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me
Author: D. Turner Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Mark 10:47 First Line: Jesus, full of all compassion Lyrics: 1 Jesus, full of all compassion,
Hear thy humble suppliant’s cry,
Let me know thy great salvation,
See! I languish, faint, and die.
2 Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelm'd with helpless grief,
Prostrate at thy feet repenting,
Send, O send me quick relief!
3 Whither should a wretch be flying,
But to him who comfort gives?
Whither, from the dread of dying,
But to him who ever lives?
4 While I view thee, wounded grieving,
Breathless on the cursèd tree,
Fain I’d feel my heart believing
That thou sufferedst thus for me.
5 With thy righteousness and spirit,
I am more than angels blest;
Heir with thee all things inherit,
Peace, and joy, and endless rest.
6 Without thee, the world possessing,
I should be a wretch undone;
Search thro' Heaven, the land of blessing,
Seeking good, and finding none.
7 Hear then, blessed Savior, hear me,
My soul cleaveth to the dust;
Send the Comforter to cheer me,
Lo! in thee I put my trust.
8 On the word thy blood hath sealed,
Hangs my everlasting All;
Let thine arm be now revealed,
Stay, O stay me, lest I fall!
9 In the world of endless ruin
Let it never, Lord, be said,
"Here's a soul that perish'd, suing
"For the boasted Saviour's aid!"
10 Sav'd—the deed shall spread new glory
Thro' the shining realms above;
Angels sing the pleasing story,
All enraptur'd with thy love! Topics: The Christian; Christian Crying for Mercy; Mercy of God Implored; Supplication

great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!

to set the captive free,
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
shall peace the herald go,
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall fall down before him,
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore him,
his praise all people sing.
To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
5 O'er every foe victorious,
he on his throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blest.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever:
that name to us is Love. Topics: Adoration; Advent; Covenant; Epiphany (feast); Kingdom Used With Tune: CRÜGER

Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall;
and I shall find my peace, my All in all!

your holy Word the truth that rescues me.
Give me to eat and live with you above;
teach me to love your truth, for you are love.

that he may touch my eyes and make me see.
Show me the truth made plain within your Word,
for in your book revealed I see the Lord.

and when my voice is lost in death,

while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are those whose hopes rely
on God the Lord, who made the sky,
and earth, the sea, the night and day;
his truth forever stands secure,
he keeps his promise to the poor,
and none who seeks is turned away.
3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind,
he calms and heals the troubled mind;
he sends the wounded conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.

and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my noblest powers;
my days of praise are never past
while life and thought and being last
or immortality endures. Used With Tune: OLD 113th
