[Verse 1]
"Mercy, O Thou son of David"
Thus poor Bartimeus prayed;
"Others by grace are saved
Now to me afford thine aid."
[Verse 2]
Money was not what he wanted
Though by begging used to live;
But he asked and Jesus granted
Alms which none but He could give;
[Verse 3]
Lord, remove this grievous blindness
Let mine eyes behold the day!
Straight he saw, and, won by kindness
Followed Jesus in the way
