3 Then saith the Christ, as silent stands

The crowd, What wilt theu at my hands?“

And he replies, O give me light!

Master, restore the blind man's sight.“

And Jesus answered,„Go thy Way.

Thy faith, thy faith has saved thee.““

Ve that have eyes and cannot see,

In darkness and in misery,

Recall those mighity voices three

O Jesus, Jesus, pity me!““

„Courage! arise! He calleth thee!“'

Thy faith, thy faith has saved thee.“

He bids me boldly seek His face:

Sprinkled upon the throne of God, Isee that rich atoning blood.

—

3 Here Ican rest without a fear; By this to God I now draw near; By this I triumph over sin; For this has made and keeps me clean, And when Ireach the throne of God, I'II praise that rich atoning blood.

C. WEsTIEX. 2 Tis mystery all! the Immortal dies! Whocan explore His strange designꝰ In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depth of love Divine!

Tis merey all; let earth adore, Let angel-minds inquire no more.

Miss CarrBEII. 4 Again He comes! From place to place His holy footprints we can trace. He pauseth at our threshold—nay, He enters—condescends to stay. Shall we not gladly raise the ery?— Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.“

HO! all ye heavy laden, come!

Here's pardon, comfort, rest, and homé,

Ye wanderers from a Father's face,

Return, accept His proffered grace.

Ye temptsd ones, there's refuge nigh!

„Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.“

6 But if yvou still His call refuse,

And all His wondrous love abuse, Soon will He sadly from you turn, Lour bitter prayer for pardon spurn, Toolate! toolate!“' will be the ery— „Jesus of Nazareth has passed by.“
