When the Saviour Dwelt Below
"But when He saw the multitudes He was moved with compassion on them." - Matt 9:36
VERSE 1
When the Saviour dwelt below,
Pity in His bosom reigned;
Sympathy He loved to show,
Nor the meanest suit disdained.
VERSE 2
Round Him throng'd the blind, the lame,
Deaf and dumb, dieseas'd, possess'd;
None in vain for healing came,
All the Saviour freely bless'd.
VERSE 3
He could make the leper whole;
Thousands at a meal He fed;
Winds and waves could He control;
By a word He rais'd the dead.
VERSE 4
List'ning sinners round Him pressed
Whilst He taught the way to bliss;
Even enemies confess'd,
"No man ever spake like this."
VERSE 5
Be Thy love to me reveal'd,
Be Thy grace by me possess'd;
Touch me, and I shall be heal'd;
Bless me, and I shall be bless'd.
