Of Jericho in darkness waits | A |
He hears the crowd he hears a breath | B |
Say It is Christ of Nazareth | C |
And calls in tones of agony | D |

The thronging multitudes increase | E |
Blind Bartimeus hold thy peace | E |
But still above the noisy crowd | F |
The beggar's cry is shrill and loud | F |
Until they say He calleth thee | D |

Then saith the Christ as silent stands | G |
The crowd What wilt thou at my hands | G |
And he replies O give me light | H |

In darkness and in misery | D |
Recall those mighty Voices Three | D |
