Author: T. M. Eastwood Appears in 2 hymnals Hymnal Title: New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 First Line: When blinded are the eyes of faith Refrain First Line: Remember the former days saith God Lyrics: 1 When blinded are the eyes of faith To God’s mysterious ways, There’s light if we but backwards look To behold the former days. Refrain: Remember the former days saith God Remember the former days, “For I am God, I am true to my word,” Remember the former days. 2 Dry-shod God’s people crossed the sea He fed them in the world, His enemies in terror fled, In the distant days of old. [Refrain] 3 When all the fields were brown and bare And hearts of men in pain, The windows of the skies God oped, And sent refreshing rain. [Refrain] 4 The sons of righteousness he blest And raised them upon on high, And when they thought themselves forgot, They found God’s presence nigh. [Refrain] 5 Our God is evermore the same The same in love and pow’r, And what he did in times of old He will do this very hour. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When blinded are the eyes of faith]

Mary Hubbert Munford

Person Name: Mary Herbert Munford Hymnal Title: New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 Composer of "[When blinded are the eyes of faith]" in New Songs of the Gospel No. 3 Mary Hubbert Mumford Ellis married to Joseph Cannon Ellis, both ordained minsters, take turns in preaching to their congregation at the Munford Primitive Methodist Church (in Philadelphia) They give their services without pay. Dr. Ellis, who is a practicing surgeon, conducts regular meetings in the church. His wife bears the title of assistant pastor. "I do not believe in a pastor accepting money for his church work" says Mrs. Ellis. "He–or she–should have other employment during the week and earn enough in that way to obviate such a necessity. We don't make any rule about who is to preach on a certain day. It depends on which of us the congregation seems to need most at a certain time." During the fifteen years of their married life, Dr. Ellis and his wife have conducted evangelical services in many sections of the county. The Washington Post Sunday, September 11, 1927, p. 35
