"Sight Restored"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

"One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see." - John 9:25

"Sight Restored"

1. I sing the matchless work of grace,
Which Jesus wrought on me;
I was born blind of Adam's race,
But He has made me see.

2. Born blind to wretched self, and sin,
And blind to danger too;
But now I see the path I'm in,
And wisdom's ways pursue.

3. Born blind to Jesus Christ my Lord,
He had no charms to me;
But now I see Him in his word,
And to His bosom flee.

4. Born blind to every sweet delight,
The gospel has to give;
But now I have receiv'd my sight,
On gospel grace I live.

5. I cannot tell the time, nor place,
Nor what the means could be:
But this I know, by Jesus' grace,
Though blind I was, I see.
