Where Are the Nine?

Wand’ring afar from the dwell­ings of men

Hear the sad cry of the le­pers

the ten;

Jesus have mer­cy! brings heal­ing di­vine

One came to wor­ship

but where are the nine?

Where are the nine?

Where are the nine?

Were there not ten cleansed?

Where are the nine?

Loudly the strang­er sang praise to the Lord

Knowing the cure had been wrought by His word

Gratefully own­ing the Heal­er di­vine;

Jesus says ten­der­ly

Where are the nine?

Who is this Na­za­rene? Pha­ri­sees say;

Is He the Christ? Tell us plain­ly

we pray.

Multitudes fol­low Him seek­ing a sign

Show them His migh­ty works—where are the nine?

Jesus on tri­al to­day we can see

Thousands de­rid­ing­ly ask

Who is He?

How they’re re­ject­ing Him

your Lord and mine!

Bring in the wit­ness­es—where are the nine?
