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. |

I like this song very much. I am Helen's son.

This hymn is based on Scripture; the relief that Christ offers to everyone speaks to all. I know the words of the first stanza. Just wondered why the words are not here.

I like this song because it was written by Dr. Oswald J. Smith, a great preacher and missionary statesman who founded and pastored a church in my hometown of Toronto, Ontario.

Praise the Lord! No longer under the authority of Satan, but GOD!
The tempter's powers are now broken..he has no power over the Lord, our Savior..who has saved us. How I love Him! What great a death He has saved me from! No longer empty..unfeeling.. I will praise Him forever! Thank You Lord!<3

I grew up as a Nazarene and heard many of the songs Homer Rodeheaver wrote - but this one always captured my heart to know that Jesus comes in the midst of our troubles and lifts us up.

I sang this song as a young girl for church special. It has a great message for the people to hear. God's miracles never stop. Our world needs to know there is a way to solve our problems.
