He sat by the dusty way sideA
With weary hopeless mienB
On his furrowed brow the tracesC
Of care and want were seenB
With outstretched hand and with bowed down headD
He asked the passers by for breadD
-
The palm tree s feathery foliageE
Around him thickly grewF
And the smiling sky above himG
Wore Syria s sun bright hueF
But dark alike to that helpless oneH
Was murky midnight or noon tide sunH
-
But voices breaking the silenceI
Are heard fast drawing nighJ
And falls on his ear the clamorK
Of vast crowds moving byJ
What is it he asks with panting breathL
They answer Jesus of NazarethM
-
What a spell lay in that titleN
Linked with such mem ries highJ
Of miracles of mercyO
Wrought neath Judaea s skyJ
Loud calls he with pleading voice and browP
Oh Jesus on me have mercy nowP
-
How often had he listenedQ
To wond rous tales of loveR
Of the Galilean s mercyO
Of power from aboveR
To none other given of mortal birthS
To heal the afflicted sons of earthS
-
With faith that never waveredT
Still louder rose his cryJ
Despite the stern rebukingU
Of many standing nighJ
Who bade him stifle his grief or joyV
Nor the Master rudely thus annoyV
-
But soon that voice imploringU
Struck on the Saviour s earW
He stopped and to His followersX
He said Go bring him hereW
And turning towards him that God like browP
He asked the suppliant What wouldest thouP
-
Though with awe and hope all tremblingU
Yet courage gaineth heO
And imploringly he murmursX
Oh Lord I fain would seeO
The Saviour says in accents lowY
Thy faith hath saved thee be it soY
-
Then on those darkened eye ballsZ
A wondrous radiance beamedA2
And they drank in the glorious beautyO
That through all nature gleamedA2
But the fairest sight they rested onB2
Was the Saviour David s royal SonH
-
O rapture past all tellingU
The bliss that vision broughtC2
Could a whole life s praises thank HimG
For the wonder He had wroughtC2
Yet is Jesus the same to day as thenD2
Bringing light and joy to the souls of menD2
