Then Jesus Came

One sat alone beside the

highway begging,

His eyes were blind, the light he

could not see;

He clutched his rags and shivered

in the shadows,

Then Jesus came and bade his

darkness flee.

When Jesus comes the tempter's

power is broken;

When Jesus comes, the tears

are wiped away.

He takes the gloom and fills the

life with glory,

For all is changed when Jesus

comes to stay.

From home and friends the evil

spirits drove him,

Among the tombs he dwelt in misery;

He cut himself as demon pow'rs

possessed him,

Then Jesus came and set the

captive free.

Unclean! unclean! The leper cried

in torment,

The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness

stood near;

The fever raged, disease had gripped

its victim,

Then Jesus came and cast

out every fear.

So men today have found the

Saviour able,

They could not conquer passion,

lust and sin;

Their broken hearts had left them sad

and lonely,

Then Jesus came and dwelt

Himself within.
