| Then Jesus Came One sat alone beside the highway begging. His eyes were blind, the light he could not see. He clutched his rags and shivered in the shadows; Then Jesus came and bade his darkness flee. Chorus: When Jesus comes, the tempter's power is broken. When Jesus comes, the tears are wiped away. He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory. For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay. Unclean, unclean, the leper cried in torment. The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness stood near. The fever raged, disease had gripped its victim; But Jesus came and cast out every fear. Chorus: When Jesus comes, the tempter's power is broken. When Jesus comes, the tears are wiped away. He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory. For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay. So, men, today, have found the Saviour able. They could not conquer passion, lust and sin. Their broken hearts had left them sad and lonely, Then Jesus came and dwelt, Himself, within. (Chorus) Music by Homer Rodeheaver Words by Oswald J. Smith |
