O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:36 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

O Savior, Rescue Me

Toss’d by waves that mount the sea,
Listen to my earnest pleading,
Quick, O savior, rescue me.
Refrain:
List, O Savior, to my pleading,
Rising up thro’ storm to thee;
Quick, come quickly thro’ the darkness,
Quick, O Savior, rescue me.
2 Close the heavens, shut in darkness,
Not a star in all the sky;
Oh, relentless winds and waters!
To my rescue, Savior, fly. [Refrain]
3 Still the waves go sweeping onward,
Still they leap to cover me,
Still the winds ride on in fury;
Quick, O Lord, my Savior, be. [Refrain]
4 Can it be that one thus driven
To despair and agony,
Shall look up in vain to heaven,
Vainly lift his pleading cry? [Refrain]

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem
Author: Louis FitzGerald Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:25 Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem,
of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them
from angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today.
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
and of the sinless boy.
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow.
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
on all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
of him who walked upon the sea
and bade its waves be still.
For though, like waves on Galilee,
dark seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master's word,
falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
of him who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away.
For he who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave,
and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
is mighty now to save.

Often When We Sit and Ponder
Author: Harry Showalter (b. 1889) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.9.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:27 Lyrics: 1 Often when we sit and ponder
o'er the cares that life may bring,
We can only look to Jesus,
our Redeemer and our King;
Tho sore trials may surround us,
or our way may be more smooth,
'Tis by these blessings or afflictions
that He doth our motives prove.
2 While mistakes are ever near us,
and our motives miss their aim,
We should not become discouraged,
but believe that Christ, the same;
Yesterday, today, tomorrow,
will forgive us if we come
With hearts possessing godly sorrow
and an honest, pleading tongue.
3 Disappointments may surround us,
chastenings may come severe,
But we have the blessed promise
that a comforter is near;
Whom the Lord loves He will chasten,
and He scourgeth ev'ry son
Whom He receiveth into glory,
ever say, "His will be done."
4 In our upward, pilgrim journey,
may we to each other show
Love unchangeable, unfading,
that in peace we onward go;
Till the summons at death's portals
shall our weary eyelids close,
Then may we meet those gone, immortal,
who are free from cares and woes. Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Christian Commission Edification, Encouragement, Testimony Used With Tune: LOOK TO JESUS

The Friend of all in need,
We pray that we may be like Thee
In thought and word and deed.

Thy speech was true and plain;
And no one ever sought Thee, Lord,
Who came to Thee in vain.
3 Thy face was warm with sympathy,
Thy hand God's strength revealed;
Who saw Thy face, or felt Thy touch
Were comforted and healed.
4 O grant us hearts like Thine, dear Lord,
So joyous, true, and free,
That all Thy children everywhere,
Be drawn by us to Thee.

"Our infirmities"
Author: Mrs. Amelia Wakeford Appears in 39 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 14:30 First Line: Jesus, and didst thou condescend Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and didst thou condescend,
When vailed in human clay,
To heal the sick, the lame, the blind,
And drive disease away?
2 Didst thou regard the beggar's cry,
And give the blind to see?
Jesus, thou Son of David, hear--
Have mercy, too, on me.
3 And didst thou pity mortal woe,
And sight and health restore?
Then pity, Lord, and save my soul,
Which needs thy mercy more.
4 Didst thou regard thy servant's cry,
When sinking in the wave?
I perish, Lord, oh, save my soul!
For thou alone canst save. Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Example of; Christ Humanity of; Christ Life on the Earth; Christ Physician; Conformity Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD
