[Mar 10:47] Jesus Of Nazareth Passeth By
What means this eager, anxious throng,
Which moves with busy haste along—
These wondrous gatherings day by day,
What means this strange commotion, pray?
In accents hushed the throng reply,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
In accents hushed the throng reply,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”Who is this Jesus? why should He
The city move so mightily?
A passing stranger, has He skill
To move the multitude at will?
Again the stirring tones reply,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
Again the stirring tones reply,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”Jesus! ’tis He Who once below
Man’s pathway trod, ’mid pain and woe;
And burdened ones, where’er He came,
Brought out their sick, and deaf and lame;
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry,
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”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 cry?
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
Shall we not gladly raise the cry?
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”Ho! all ye heavy laden, come!
Here’s pardon, comfort, rest and home:
Ye wand’rers from a Father’s face,
Return, accept His proffered grace;
Ye tempted ones, there’s refuge nigh:
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
Ye tempted ones, there’s refuge nigh:
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”But if you still His call refuse,
And all His wondrous love abuse,
Soon will He sadly from you turn,
Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn,
“Too late! too late!” will be the cry—
“Jesus of Nazareth has passed by.”
“Too late! too late!” will be the cry—
“Jesus of Nazareth has passed by.”Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mar 10:48] Blind Bartimeus
Son of David! hear my cry;
Savior, do not pass me by;
Touch these eyelids veiled in night,
Turn their darkness into light.
Son of David, hear my cry!
Savior, do not pass me by.Though the proud my voice would still,
They may chide me if they will,
Yet the more I’ll pray for grace,
Only here shall be my place.
Son of David, hear my cry!
Savior, do not pass me by.Though despised by all but Thee,
Thou a blessing hast for me;
Faith and prayer can never fail,
Lord, with Thee I must prevail,
Son of David, hear my cry!
Savior, do not pass me by.Glorious vision! heav’nly ray!
All my gloom has passed away;
Now my joyful eye doth see,
And my soul still clings to Thee,
Thine the glory evermore,
Mine to worship and adore.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mar 10:49] All Those That Pass By
All those that pass by, to Jesus draw near,
He utters a cry, ye sinners, give ear!
From hell to retrieve you He spreads out His hands;
And now to receive you, He graciously stands.If any man thirst, and happy would be,
The vilest and worst may come unto Me,
May drink of My Spirit, excepted is none,
Lay claim to My merit, and take for his own.Whoever receives the life giving Word,
In Jesus believes, his God and his Lord,
In him a pure river of life shall arise,
Shall in the believer spring up to the skies.My God and my Lord! Thy call I obey,
My soul on Thy word of promise I stay,
Thy kind invitation I gladly embrace,
Athirst for salvation, salvation by grace.O hasten the hour! Send down from above
The Spirit of power, of health, and of love,
Of filial fear, of knowledge and grace,
Of wisdom and prayer, of joy and of praise.The Spirit of faith, of faith in Thy blood,
Which saves us from wrath, and brings us to God,
Removes the huge mountain of indwelling sin,
And opens a fountain that washes us clean.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

A call for loyal soldiers
Comes to one and all;
Soldiers for the conflict,
Will you heed the call?

With a ready cheer,
Will you be enlisted

With a heart most kind,

Broken for mankind;

Calls in accents clear,

And the vict’ry won,
When the true and faithful
Gather one by one,
He will crown with glory
All who there appear;

[Mar 10:49] Lo, A Loving Friend Is Waiting
Lo, a loving Friend is waiting,
He is calling thee;
Listen to His voice so tender,
“Come to Me.“On the cross for thee I suffered,
Death I bore for thee,
Canst thou still refuse My mercy?
Trust to Me.“Long hast thou been Satan’s captive,
I will set Thee free;
Then, rejoicing in thy freedom,
Follow Me.”Many times has Jesus spoken,
Now He speaks again;
Shall Thy Savior’s invitation
Be in vain?Soon that voice will cease its calling,
Wilt thou still delay?
Wait no longer, sin grows stronger,
Yield today.Savior, I will wait no longer,
Now to Thee I come;
And when life’s short voyage is over,
Take me home.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mar 10:49] Oh! Come To The Merciful Savior
Oh! come to the merciful Savior Who calls you,
Oh! come to the Lord Who forgives and forgets;
Though dark be the fortune on earth that befalls you,
There’s a bright home above, where the sun never sets.Oh! come then to Jesus, whose arms are extended
To fold His dear children in closest embrace;
Oh! come, for your exile will shortly be ended,
And Jesus will show you His beautiful face.Yes, come to the Savior, whose mercy grows brighter
The longer you look at the depth of His love;
And fear not! ’tis Jesus! and life’s cares grow lighter
As you think of the home and the glory above.Have you sinned as none else in the world have before you?
Are you blacker than all other creatures in guilt?
Oh, fear not, and doubt not! the mother who bore you
Loves you less than the Savior Whose blood you have spilt!Come, come to His feet, and lay open your story
Of suffering and sorrow, of guilt and of shame;
For the pardon of sin is the crown of His glory,
And the joy of our Lord to be true to His Name.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Pleading for you and for me?

Mercies for you and for me?Refrain
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming,
Coming for you and for me.Refrain
O for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.Refrain
