"He also exalteth... a people near unto Him. Praise ye the Lord" (Psalm 148:14). "A certain blind man sat by the wayside begging.... Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near, He asked him, saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God" (Luke 18:35-43).
Rise up now, for Christ commands
That mercy now may bring you near.
Extending now to you His hands,
He bids you come, and not to fear.
Hear Him call above the noise
Of all the crowd that would forbid.
Yes, He hears your feeble voice,
And from His sight you are not hid.
Rise up now, and you will find
His healing power gives you sight
To follow Him, no longer blind,
In the pathway of His light.
How good it is that we are brought
So close to Christ, our Lord and Savior!
By His precious blood He bought
A people near Him, in His favor.
