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 rays
That 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 and clear the darkened lids, and say
The gracious words, "Receive thy sight."
4
Then, in clear daylight, shall we see
Where erring souls the sinless Son of God;
And, aided by new strength from thee,
Press onward in the path he trod.
