The text of this one was written by Fanny J. Crosby and set to music by William H. Doan. He is said to have set more than 1,500 of Fanny's poems to music over their time collaborating. This hymn evokes the desparateness of the blind beggar in Luke 18:35-43. When the beggar heard that Jesus of Nathareth was passing by, he called out to him to have mercy on him. We all want Jesus to see us and to hear our pleas for help.
