Hymn 408

The beggar sat blind by the wayside road

Meter: 10.11.10.8.D.

Scripture: Luke 18:42

1

The beggar sat blind by the wayside road,

Till Jesus came along, came along that way;

And then he rejoic’d in the pow’r of God,

When Jesus came along that way.

My life was all darkened by guilt of sin,

Till Jesus came along, came along my way;

But now ’tis all brightness and peace within,

Since Jesus came along my way.

2

One word from the master, his eyes gave sight,

When Jesus came along, came along that way;

And faith in His word filled his heart with light,

When Jesus came along that way.

3

I heard the sweet sound of the angel throng,

When Jesus came along, came along that way;

As gladly they sang the redemption song,

When Jesus came along my way.

4

Oh, come to the Saviour, be heal'd of sin,

Today He comes along, comes along your way;

The sinner cries out, and the light breaks in,

When Jesus comes along that way.
