MERCY O THOU SON OF DAVID

​

"Mercy, O Thou Son of David,"

Thus poor blind Bartimeus prayed,

"Others by Thy grace are saved,

Now to me afford Thine aid."

John Newton (1725-1807)

MERCY O THOU SON OF DAVID

​

Money was not what he wanted,

Though by begging used to live;

But he asked, and Jesus granted,

Alms that none but He could give.

MERCY O THOU SON OF DAVID

​

"Lord remove

this grievous blindness,

Let mine eyes behold the day,"

Straight he saw and,

won by kindness,

Followed Jesus in the way.
