Matthew 20:30: Jesus, who now art passing by

Religion

Jesus, who now art passing by,
Our Prophet, Priest, and King, Thou art:
Heal" a poor unbeliever's cry,
And heal the blindness of my heart;
Urging my passionate request
Thy pardoning mercy I implore,
Whoe'er rebuke I will not rest
Till Thou my spirit's sight restore.
