Christ a Blind Man Saw One Day

Christ a blind man saw one day

As He went along his way.

His dis­ci­ples asked

Who sinned

That he blind from birth has been?

Jesus said

Sin’s not to blame

But God’s work will now be plain.

Then He spit up­on the ground

Made some mud

and put it on.

Go and wash

He then did say

And the blind man did ob­ey.

He was blind no more;

He now could see.

All the peo­ple were con­fused

When they heard about the news.

They said

Blind you’ve been for life.

How then did you gain your sight?

He said

Je­sus—it was He.

He made mud

I washed

now see.

Then the Pha­ri­sees comp­lained

Though the mi­ra­cle was plain.

This man’s not from God

they claimed

For the Sab­bath He’s pro­faned.

They were blind from sin;

They could not see.

The man’s par­ents then were called

And were asked to re­count all.

They con­fessed he was their son

But knew not what Christ had done.

They said

Ask him; let him tell.

He’s of age and can speak well.

So they sum­moned him once more.

Said

This Man’s a sin­ner sure.

He said

Whe­ther He has blame

I know not

but this is plain:

Though I once was blind

I now can see!

Still the Pha­ri­sees did rail

Asked him to re­peat his tale.

Said

His foll’w­er you’ve be­come

Though we don’t know where He’s from.

He re­plied

If not from God

This man could not do such good.

Then they drove him from that place.

Jesus found him in dis­grace.

Said

The Son of Man now speaks;

You have seen Him; now be­lieve.

He said

I be­lieve;

Lord

I be­lieve!

Jesus came to judge the earth

And show sin for what it’s worth.

As He gave the blind man sight

He can cleanse us by His might.

But we must ad­mit we’re blind

Or His heal­ing we’ll not find.

If we claim that we can see

We will ev­er guil­ty be.

But when we in Him be­lieve

He will then our guilt re­lieve.

We’ll be blind no more

When we be­lieve.
