Blind Bartimeus at the gatesA
Of Jericho in darkness waitsA
He hears the crowd he hears a breathB
Say It is Christ of NazarethC
And calls in tones of agonyD
-
The thronging multitudes increaseE
Blind Bartimeus hold thy peaceE
But still above the noisy crowdF
The beggar's cry is shrill and loudF
Until they say He calleth theeD
-
Then saith the Christ as silent standsG
The crowd What wilt thou at my handsG
And he replies O give me lightH
Rabbi restore the blind man's sightH
And Jesus answers ' GREEK '-
GREEKI
-
Ye that have eyes yet cannot seeD
In darkness and in miseryD
Recall those mighty Voices ThreeD
GREEKI
GREEKI
GREEKI
