The Pool of Siloam

By T. L. Waters

By T. L. Waters
"Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam." John 9:7.
When the eyes of the spirit by sin are made blind, And groping for truth, no light can it find; When the darkness of error envelops the mind, And chains of tradition the inner man bind; Then go to the Pool of Siloam and wash.
When spiritual darkness the whole man enfolds, And creeds and confessions your actions control; When for Paul and for Cephas your thoughts you are giving, And your church to build up you are mightily striving; Then go to the Pool of Siloam and wash.
That pool is the Light of the world,—'tis God's Word, Whose truth must enlighten, and break the strong cord That fetters the spirit, that darkens the mind; 'Twill loosen the cords by error entwined, When you go to the Pool of Siloam and wash.
The works of our Saviour are manifest made, When the sword of the Spirit, with its mighty blade, Cuts us loose from the darkness which did truth disguise, And with power from above enlightens our eyes, When we go to the Pool of Siloam and wash.
