Lyrics

Jesus of Na­za­reth, heal­er of men,
Curer of halt and of blind;
Worker of won­ders, again and again,
Seeking the sad ones to find.

Refrain

Jesus of Na­za­reth, tell it again:
Died on the cross for sin­ful men.

Jesus of Na­za­reth, cur­er of sin,
Seeker for lost and de­filed;
Striving so kind­ly the stray­ing to win,
Loving each pe­ni­tent child.

Refrain

Jesus of Na­za­reth, dy­ing for all,
Hanging in pain on the tree;
Suffering so meek­ly, that we who may call,
Pardon thro’ Him may have free.
