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?

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

and daily vows ascend,

Satan has long on thee imposed—
Or has the Spirit gone forever?
Is thy heart’s door against Him closed.
Refrain:
Come, sinner, God is calling thee;
Come, sinner, God is calling thee;
He is pleading, interceding;
Come, God is calling thee.
2 Is God calling thee? Wilt thou not hear Him?
Sinner, He’s pleading now for thee;
In pity His Spirit draws thee near Him,
Mercy and love are shown so free. [Refrain]
3 Is God calling thee in great compassion?
Then let thy heart this Christ receive;
He died on the cross to seal thy pardon;
How canst thou thus His Spirit grieve? [Refrain]
4 Is God calling thee? Then wait no longer;
Canst thou His pleading voice despise?
If thou wilt obey, ’twill make thee stronger—
From sin and guilt thou canst arise. [Refrain]

With this vain world for aye be lost?
For His greater love I’ll not betray Him,
No, I’ll be His at any cost.

Through purer lives show forth your light.
