John 9:7: Go, wash in the pool of Siloatn....He went, &c

When Jesus bade me first beheve,
My spirit did its sight receive.
Though long by nature blind;
To Christ at His command I Avent,
And found Him by His Father sent,
The Saviour of mankind.

His Spirit drew me to the pool
Which makes a world of sinners whole,
The purple fountain show'd,
The balm infallible applied,
And pointed out the Crucified,
And plunged me in His blood.

Twas there I wash'd my sins away,
I triumph'd in the gospel-day
I o paradise restored:
And clearly still I all things see;
But nothing half so fair as Thee,
So heavenly as my Lord.
