1 One sat alone beside the highway begging,
His eyes were blind, the light he could not see;
When Jesus comes the tempter's pow'r is broken;
When Jesus comes the tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.
2 From home and friends the evil spirits drove him,
Among the tombs he dwelt in misery;
When Jesus comes the tempter's pow'r is broken;
When Jesus comes the tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.
3 "Unclean! Unclean!" the leper cried in torment,
The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness stood near;
When Jesus comes the tempter's pow'r is broken;
When Jesus comes the tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.
4 Their hearts were sad as in the tomb they laid him,
For death had come and taken him away;
When Jesus comes the tempter's pow'r is broken;
When Jesus comes the tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.
5 So men today have found the Savior able,
They could not conquer passion, lust and sin;
When Jesus comes the tempter's pow'r is broken;
When Jesus comes the tears are wiped away.
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.
