The Cyber Hymnal ‎#6521

6521. Thou Didst Teach the Thronging People

1. Thou didst teach the thronging people
By blue Galilee;
Speak to us, Thy erring children,
Teach us purity.

2. Thou whose touch could heal the leper,
Make the blind to see;
Touch our hearts and turn the sinning
Unto purity.

3. Thou whose word could still the tempest,
Calm the raging sea;
Hush the storm of human passion;
Give us purity.

4. Thou didst sinless meet the tempter;
Grant, O Christ, that we
May o’ercome the bent to evil
By Thy purity.
