When the blind suppliant in the way

Author: William C. Bryant Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #305 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When the blind suppliant in the way, By friendly hands to Jesus led, Prayed to behold the light of day, "Receive thy sight," the Saviour said. 2 At once he saw the pleasant rays That lit the glorious firmament; And, with firm step and words of praise, He followed where the Master went. 3 Look down in pity, Lord, we pray, On eyes oppressed by moral night, And touch the darkened lids, and say The gracious words, "Receive thy sight." 4 Then, in clear daylight, shall we see Where walked the sinless Son of God; And, aided by new strength from thee, Press onward in the path he trod.

O wondrous type! O vision fair

Author: Sarum Breviary Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #306 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair Of glory that the church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun he glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare, How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elias meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 With shining face and bright array; Christ deigns to manifest to-day What glory shall be theirs above, Who live below in perfect love. 4 And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery; For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

How sweetly flowed the gospel sound

Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #307 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How sweetly flowed the gospel sound From lips of gentleness and grace, When listening thousands gathered round, And joy and gladness filled the place! 2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke. To heaven he led his followers' way; Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke, Unvailing an immortal day. 3 He points us to his Father's home, "Come, all ye weary ones, and rest;" Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, Obey thee, love thee, and be blest!
