Hymn Context Compare
And set the captive free,
In thank­ful­ness to Thee.
Behold, the dead awake and live;
But the Mas­ter at once gave heed;
The poor and the needy may come,
With His time­ly coun­sel, with His fault­less mien;
And strength to fail­ing puls­es bring,
To Thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
The dumb do speak, the dead are raised,
And the wil­der­ness re­joice;
The deaf shall hear, the dumb shall sing,

The lame

And caused the blind to see.
The deaf and dumb to speak;
Leap like the hart, and bless His name.
For He glad­ly an­swers all who plead.
And all who are seek­ing a heav­en­ly home,
For the poor, the needy, for the bur­dened mind?
And the parched lips with glad­ness sing.
The le­per with his taint­ed life,
Let no dark clouds ob­struct the morn
The dumb lift up their voice;
And joy through all the earth shall ring.
