Lyrics

The beggar sat blind by the wayside road,
Till Je­sus came along, came along that way.
And then he rejoiced in the power of God,
When Je­sus came along that way.

Refrain

My life was all darkened by guilt and sin,
Till Je­sus came along, came along my way.
But now ’tis all brightness and peace within,
Since Je­sus came along my way.

One word from the Mas­ter, his eyes gave sight,
When Je­sus came along, came along that way.
And faith in His word filled his heart with light,
When Je­sus came along that way.

Refrain

I heard the sweet sound of the angel throng,
When Je­sus came along, came along my way.
As they joined in the glad re­demp­tion song,
When Je­sus came along that way.

Refrain

Oh! come to the Sav­ior; be healed of sin,
Today He comes along, comes along your way.
The sinner cries out, and the light breaks in,
When Je­sus comes along that way.
