Does anyone recognize this?
When Jesus comes the tempter's power is broken
When Jesus comes the tears are rolled away
He took the gloom and filled my heart with gladness
Then all is changed when Jesus comes to stay

When Jesus Comes The Tempters Power Is Broken

One sat alone beside the highway begging,
His eyes were blind, the light he could not see.
He clutched his rags and shivered in the shadows
Then Jesus came and bade his darkness flee.

Chorus
When Jesus comes, the tempter's power is broken;
When Jesus comes, the tears are wiped away,
He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory,
For all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.

From home and friends the evil spirits drove him,
Among the tombs he dwelt in misery;
He cut himself as demon powers possessed him,
Then Jesus came and set the captive free.

"Unclean, unclean!" the leper cried in torment,
The deaf, the dumb, in helplessness stood near;
The fever raged, disease had gripped its' victim,
Then Jesus came and cast out every fear. .

Their hearts were sad as in the tomb they laid Him,
For death had come and taken Him away;
Their night was dark and bitter tears were falling,
Then Jesus came and night was turned to day.

So men today have found the Savior able,
They could not conquer passion, lust and sin;
Their broken hearts had left them sad and lonely,
Then Jesus came and dwelt, Himself, within.

Thank you! Hopefully, I can find a recording of this to burn online, but at least I know I can pass on the lyrics. Blessings!
