Up from the templed city of the Jews	A
The road ran straight and white	B
To Jericho the City of the Palms	C
The City of Delight	B
	-
Down that still road from far Judean hills	D
The shepherds drove their sheep	E
At silver dawn at stirring of the birds	F
When men were all asleep	E
	-
Full many went that weary way at noon	G
Or rested by the trees	H
Romans and slaves Gentiles and bearded priests	I
Sinners and Pharisees	I
	-
But when the pink clouds drifted far and high	J
Like rose leaves blowing past	K
When in the west where one star blessed the sky	J
The gates of day shut fast	K
	-
All travellers journeyed home and the moonlight	B
Washed the road fresh and sweet	L
Until it seemed a gleaming ivory path	M
Waiting for royal feet	L
	-
	-
	-
Now it was noon and life at its full tide	N
Rolled ever to and fro	O
A restless sea between Jerusalem	P
And white walled Jericho	O
	-
Blind Bartimeus by the highway side	N
Sat begging 'neath the trees	I
And heard the world go by Gentiles and Jews	I
Sinners and Pharisees	I
	-
Blind Bartimeus of the mask like face	I
And patient outstretched hand	Q
He upon whom his God had set a mark	R
No man might understand	Q
	-
Blind Bartimeus of the lonely dark	R
Who knew no thing called fear	S
But dreamt his dreams and heard the little sounds	I
No man but he could hear	T
	-
He heard the beating of the bird's soft wings	I
Uprising through the air	U
He heard the camel's footfall in the dust	V
And knew who travelled there	U
	-
He heard the lizard when it moved at noon	G
On the grey sunlit wall	W
He heard the far off temple bells what time	X
He felt the shadows fall	W
	-
Now in the golden hour he stooped to hear	T
A muffled sound and low	O
The tramping of a myriad sandalled feet	L
That came from Jericho	O
	-
Then on the road a little lad he knew	Y
Ran past with eager cry	J
Ho Bartimeus Give thine heart good cheer	S
For David's Son comes by	J
	-
He comes He comes And sad one who can say	I
What He may do for thee	Z
He makes the lame to walk He heals the sick	A2
He makes the blind to see	Z
	-
He makes the blind to see Oh God of Hosts	I
Beyond the sky called blue	Y
What if Messiah cometh to His own	B2
What if the words be true	Y
	-
On his swift way the little herald sped	C2
Like bird upon the wing	D2
And left the lean brown beggar world forgot	E2
Waiting for Israel's King	D2
	-
But when the dust came whirling to his feet	L
When the mad throng drew near	S
Blind Bartimeus rose and from his lips	I
A cry rang loud and clear	S
	-
The cry of all the ages of each soul	F2
In sad captivity	Z
The endless cry from depths of bitter woe	O
Have mercy upon me	Z
	-
What though the wild oncoming multitude	G2
Jested and bade him cease	I
What though the Scribes and mighty Pharisees	I
Told him to keep his peace	I
	-
What though his heart grew faint and all the strength	H2
Slipped from each trembling limb	I2
The One of all the earth his soul desired	J2
Stood still and spoke to him	I2
	-
Then silence fell while the upheaving throng	K2
As sea waves backward curled	L2
Left a great path and down the path there shone	B2
The Light of all the world	L2
	-
The Light from whose mysterious golden depths	I
The Sun rose in his might	B
The light from whose white hidden fires were lit	M2
The torches of the night	B
	-
The Light that shining on a thing of clay	I
Giveth it Life and Will	N2
The Light that with an unknown power can blast	K
And bid all life be still	N2
	-
The Light that calls a ray of its own light	B
A man's undying soul	F2
The Light that lifts the broken lives of earth	O2
Touches and makes them whole	F2
	-
Up towards the Radiance Bartimeus went	P2
Alone and poor and blind	Q2
Feeling his way if haply it led on	R2
To One he fain would find	Q2
	-
Then spoke the Voice again Oh mystic words	I
Of a compelling grace	I
The curtain rose from off his darkened sight	B
He saw the King's own face	I
	-
So strangely beautiful so strangely near	S
He worshipped with his eyes	I
Unheeding that for him at last there shone	B2
The sunlit noonday skies	I
	-
What though the clamouring crowd echoed his name	S2
Unto its utmost rim	I2
He only saw the Christ and in the light	B
He rose and followed Him	I2
	-
	-
	-
Oh Bartimeus of the mask like face	I
And patient outstretched hand	Q
Was it for this God set on thee the mark	R
No man might understand	Q
