At Nazareth© Gerald England
the eyes of all those
that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him
who was sent for the recovering
of sight to the blind
In former days
we groped for the wall
like the blind as if
we had no eyes, stumbling
at noonday as in the night -
a foolish, rebellious people
which have eyes and see not
Now like the disciples
who walked the road to Emmaeus
our eyes are opened
and we know Him
We say, with Simeon,
"Mine eyes have seen thy salvation"
