One sat alone beside the highway begging, His eyes were blind, the light he could not see; He clutched his rags and shivered in the shadows, Then Jesus came and bade his darkness flee. |
| 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. |

From home and friends the evil spirits drove him, Among the tombs he dwelt in misery; He cut himself as demon pow’rs possessed him, Then Jesus came and set the captive free. |

“Unclean! unclean!” the leper cried in torment, The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness stood near; The fever raged, disease had gripped its victim, Then Jesus came and cast out every fear. |

Their hearts were sad as in the tomb they laid him, For death had come and taken him away; Their night was dark and bitter tears were falling, Then Jesus came and night was turned to day. |

So men today have found the Savior able, They could not conquer passion, lust and sin; Their broken hearts had left them sad and lonely, Then Jesus came and dwelt, Himself, within. |

Favorite song first heard and often sang with 3rd grade classmates in Christian school Northern Calif about 1960. Stayed deep in memory and often when waking middle of night the tune and lyrics and memories of Godly teacher leading worship songs floods my soul. The experience described in this song is very very real. Praise the Lord.

My mum used to sing this song when I was a child. I never knew the lyrics, but I knew the sound and the first words “When Jesus comes”. I woke up this morning hearing the sound in my spirit, then I came looking for the full song. What a glorious hymn.
“When Jesus comes, the tears are whipped away
He takes the gloom and fill it up with glory”

We sang this song over 40 years ago in our church and I never heard it again until the Holy Spirit brought it to my mind in my sleep this morning and I woke up and searched for it on utube. The effect on me remains the same ….. soul stirring, moved to tears. Beautiful song of the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.

This song always melting my heart any time I sing it. It draws me very close to God, in fact I need to sing it every day so that I will always be close to God, and to his glory
