They Have Heard Thy Name

In the original 1946 Autobiography of a Yogi, this chant is designated as an “old Bengali song”. Later this reference was taken out. In fact, the mood of this chant appears to be rather Christian, much remindful of the biblical words: “Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.” (Luke 14:21) And: “In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water… When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?” (John 5:1-6)

In addition, Yogananda included the lyrics of this song in his Metaphysical Meditations, under “Meditations on the Christ”.

LYRICS:

They have heard Thy name, the blind, halt and lame.
They have come to Thy door, they have come to Thy door.
Give Thou an audience, Lord.
Those that are drowned in sin; to whom will they go?
They have no one, O Lord.
They have heard Thy name; the blind, halt and lame.

WHEN TO USE THIS SONG:

Sing when feeling forsaken by friends, fortune or health, or when interceding for others.

SING ALONG:

An Ananda devotee sings this song.
