Deaf and Blind

1980-something

[To the traditional tune: S, S, L-S, M, D,, D,D,, L-S...]

Picture a teacher all dressed in Blue

Bearing a message, a heart-song so true

He will go through the Earth teaching all of mankind

He’ll try to give sight to the deaf and the blind

[Everyone sings] He’ll try to give sight to the deaf and the blind

Picture a teacher all dressed in Green

The colour of turban the Báb’s must have been

He is teaching the Cause that will rescue mankind

A cause that’s rejected by deaf and by blind

[Everyone sings] A cause that’s rejected by deaf and by blind

Picture a teacher all dressed in Red

The colour of blood that our martyrs have shed

They are teaching the cause the will rescue mankind

And their blood was shed by the deaf and the blind.

[Everyone sings] And their blood was shed by the deaf and the blind.

Picture a teacher all dressed in Black

Alive with the Spirit, the world on his back

He will bear any trial just to rescue mankind

His burden made great by the deaf and the blind

[Everyone sings] His burden made great by the deaf and the blind

Picture a teacher all dressed in White

Bearing the Choice Wine from the fingers of Might

It’s a wine that when taken will rescue mankind

A wine never tasted by deaf and by blind

[Everyone sings] A wine never tasted by deaf and by blind

Picture a teacher all dressed in Grey

Gathers his friends for a moment to pray

They are asking the Lord to help them rescue mankind

From the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind

[Everyone sings] From the ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind
