Jesus passed thro’ Jer­icho,
As to the cross He went;
To the sin­ful and the lost
The Son of God was sent;
All the suf­fer­ing ones of earth,
The blind, the halt, the lame,
Called His kind com­pas­sion forth,
For un­to them He came.

Refrain

Savior, I be­lieve;
Let me now my sight re­ceive;
Christ of Je­ri­cho,
Let me Thy sal­va­tion know.

Jesus passed thro’ Je­ri­cho;
With joy the blind man heard;
Heeding not the world’s re­proach,
He begged a heal­ing word;
This his op­por­tu­ni­ty,
For him sal­va­tion’s day;
Lord, I would re­ceive my sight;
Have mer­cy now, I pray.

Refrain

Jesus passed thro’ Jer­icho,
And still He pas­seth by;
Would you from your sin be free?
To Him lift up your cry;
Call to Him in hum­ble faith,
He com­eth now this way!
Lo, the Christ of Jer­icho
Will save your soul to­day.
