From Nazareth
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A hymn challenging the scornful question 'Can any good come from Nazareth?' by affirming the power and majesty of Jesus the Nazarene, who heals, reigns, and transforms sorrow into joy.
Verse 1
Comes any good from Nazareth?
The scornful challenge as of old Is flung on many'a jeering breath From cloistered cells and marts of gold.
Verse 2
Comes any good from Nazareth? Behold,
the mighty Nazarene, The Lord of life,
the Lord of death,
Through warring ages walks serene.
Verse 3
One touch upon His garment's fringe Still heals the hurt of bitter years.
Before Him yet the demons cringe,
He gives the wine of joy for tears.
Verse 4
O city of the Carpenter,
Upon the hill slope old and gray,
The world among its pain and stir Turns yearning eyes on thee today.
Verse 5
For He who dwelt in Nazareth,
And wrought with toil of hand and brain,
Alone gives victory to faith Until the day He come again.
