One By One
One by one God’s beloved son healed and blessed each one
Have ye one sick, lame, blind, one halt or any one maimed
person
Is there one leprous, withered, deaf or one afflicted in any
manner
For I have compassion, mercy and will heal, come bring each
one hither
No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he
taught
Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and
none forgot
How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power
How rich are His blessings, how great His desire
To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart
Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part
One by one God’s beloved son held and blessed the children
He wept and prayed unto his Father and one by one he blessed
them
Look behold your little ones, they cast their eyes toward
heaven
And saw angel’s fiery light descend and encircle each little
one
No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he
taught
Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and no
one forgot
How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power
How rich are His blessings, how great His desire
To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart
Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part
Jesus commanded twelve disciples to bring forth bread and
wine
He blessed and brake and one by one delivered emblems divine
This ye shall do in remembrance of my body and blood shed
That my Spirit may abide with you and testify, he said
No eye can see nor tongue repeat the marvelous things he
taught
Each saw His light, they felt His love, they witnessed and
never forgot
How deep is Christ’s love, how marvelous His power
How rich are His blessings, how great His desire
To fill one mind and heal one soul and mend one broken heart
Lifting each one toward Heaven’s home never again to part
