Key of D · 120 BPM · 3/4 · Healing,Holiness,Jesus · Jn 1:43-51

Verse 1

Comes any good from Nazareth? The scornful
challenge as of old Is flung on many'a
jeering breath From cloistered cells and marts of gold.

Verse 2

Comes any good from Nazareth? Behold, the
mighty Nazarene, The Lord of life, the
Lord of death, Through warring ages walks serene.

Verse 3

One touch upon His garment's fringe Still heals the
hurt of bitter years. Before Him yet the
demons cringe, He gives the wine of joy for tears.

Verse 4

O city of the Carpenter, Upon the
hill slope old and gray, The world among its
pain and stir Turns yearning eyes on thee today.

Verse 5

For He who dwelt in Nazareth, And wrought with
toil of hand and brain, Alone gives victory
y to faith Until the day He come again.
