1 Behold the Man of sorrows,
Who walked in Israel’s land,
With word of mighty power,
And ready helping hand.
Refrain:
He’s full of great compassion,
He’ll do the same for thee
As for the lost and suff’ring
Who dwelt in Galilee.
2 The blind men by the wayside,
“Have mercy on us,” cried,
And Jesus heard and healed them;
Their plea was not denied. [Refrain]
3 They bro’t a palsied sinner,
“Arise, take up thy bed,
Thy sins are all forgiven,”
To him the Savior said. [Refrain]
4 The suff’ring thronged about him,
He healed them ev’ry one;
As soon as he had spoken,
The mighty work was done. [Refrain]
5 Although to heav’n ascended,
He lives for us today;
And if we ask, believing,
He’ll answer when we pray. [Refrain]
