Or speak too well; please fix his ear. (Please fix his ear!)
Then shall the eyes of the blind be op­ened
For Thou hast made the blind to see,
Lord, Thou hast made the blind to see,
And show new mi­ra­cles of grace,
The lame are made to walk,
Redeemed, the blind receive their sight,
And a thou­sand voic­es
Surely He cometh, and a thousand voices
The Sav­ior’s come, by pr­ophets told,
The weak be strong, the fear­ful bold,

the deaf

The blind man saw; (the blind man saw)
Of the deaf un­stopp­èd.
The dead to live; and, lo, I break
The dead to live; and lo, I break
And wake the dead to life and praise.
The graves Thy high com­mand ob­ey,
The dumb in songs of praise rejoice.
Surely He com­eth, and the earth re­joic­es,
Surely He cometh, and the earth rejoices,
The dumb do speak, the dead are raised,
The lame shall walk, the blind be­hold,
