Whence Jesus came I cannot tell,
Nor why he came to me;
One thing I know, and know it well,
Though I was blind, I see!
I once was blind, but now I see!
And that is news enough for me,
And that is news enough for me.
When all was dark One touched my eyes,
And that is all I know;
For light came down from Paradise,
And set my soul aglow;
I once was blind, but now I see!
And that is light enough for me,
And that is light enough for me.
How it was done I cannot say,
Nor even think, nor dream;
Nor why a touch of moistened clay
Should make things what they seem;
I once was blind, but now I see!
And that is truth enough for me,
And that is truth enough for me.
It is the Son of God I his grace
Makes trembling weakness strong;
Wipes tears away from sorrow's face.
And teaches grief a song;
I once was blind, but now I see!
And that is joy enough for me,
And that is joy enough for me.
