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.
