Jesus and didst Thou condescend

English

Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22

Verse 1

Jesus, and didst thou condescend, When vailed in human clay, To heal the sick, the lame, the blind, And drive disease away?

Verse 2

Didst thou regard the beggar's cry, And give the blind to see? Jesus, thou Son of David, hear-- Have mercy, too, on me.

Verse 3

And didst thou pity mortal woe, And sight and health restore? Then pity, Lord, and save my soul, Which needs thy mercy more.

Verse 4

Didst thou regard thy servant's cry, When sinking in the wave? I perish, Lord, oh, save my soul! For thou alone canst save.
