[Through vanity I will not tell]

He answered and said, A Man that is called, &c. —ix. 11.

Through vanity I will not tell,
Nor yet through fear the truth conceal,
But own in love's simplicity
The things my God hath done for me;
He of His own accord pass'd by
And saw the blind with pitying eye.
The Man, the God, they Jesus call,
My Saviour, and the Friend of all,
Anointed with His grace my soul,
And said, Go wash in Siloam's pool:
Obedient to His Spirit's word
I went; I wash'd, and saw my Lord.
