As Jesus went into Jericho town, br Twas darkness all, from toe to crown, br About blind Bartimeus. br He said, 'My eyes are more than dim, br They are no use for seeing him: br No matter-he can see us!' br br 'Cry out, cry out, blind brother-cry; br Let not salvation dear go by.- br Have mercy, Son of David.' br Though they were blind, they both could hear- br They heard, and cried, and he drew near; br And so the blind were saved.
