Christ My Song - 735
O blind, O blind in sin - Rise; he calleth thee
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
“Rise; he calleth thee.”
(Mark 10,49)
1. O blind, O blind in sin,
there yet is light for thee!
The Healer of the world has come,
has come, that thou mayst see.
Be of good cheer;
arise: he calleth thee! (PDF - Midi)
2. O blindest of the blind,
whose eyes no ray can see;
blind to all holy light and love,
dark as thy soul may be;
be of good cheer;
arise: he calleth thee!
3. He comes to give thee sight,
from gloom to set thee free;
he comes to give thee blessèd light,
to bid thy darkness flee.
Be of good cheer;
arise: he calleth thee!
4. He comes to end thy night,
he comes with liberty;
joy, peace, and life, behold, he brings,
and glorious victory!
Be of good cheer;
arise: he calleth thee!
5. O saddest of the sad,
whose eyes no joy can see,
O child of weariness and gloom,
whate'er thy case may be,
be of good cheer;
arise: he calleth thee!
Horatius Bonar, "Until the Day break", 1890, 97-98.
