Shout for joy! with cries of gladnessGather those who were dispersed.
Here the blind are given vision;
Here the comfortless find mirth.
In his faith, blind Bartimaeus
Shouted out his need to see---
Jesus, Light from Light, restored him,
Gave him sight, and set him free.
Each of us, in our baptism,
Has received the gift of sight
Through the Christ, our High Priest Jesus: Filled with joy, we seek God's light!
Hymn text by J. M. Thompson
