When the blind suppliant in the way
1
When the blind suppliant in the way,By friendly hands to Jesus led,Prayed to behold the light of day,"Receive thy sight," the Saviour said.
2
At once he saw the pleasant raysThat lit the glorious firmament;And, with firm step and words of praise,He followed where the Master went.
3
Look down in pity, Lord, we pray,On eyes oppressed by moral night,And touch the darkened lids, and sayThe gracious words, "Receive thy sight."
4
Then, in clear daylight, shall we seeWhere walked the sinless Son of God;And, aided by new strength from thee,Press onward in the path he trod.
