Tune: | ST MATTHEW |
Composer: | William Croft, 1678-1727 |
1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
was strong to heal and save;
it triumphed o'er disease and death,
o'er darkness and the grave:
to thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
the palsied and the lame,
the outcasts with their grievances,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 And lo, thy touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed and frenzy calmed
owned thee, the Lord of light:
and now, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty as before,
in crowded street, by restless couch,
as by that ancient shore.
3 Be thou our great deliv'rer still,
thou Lord of life and death;
restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
with thine almighty breath:
to hands that work, and eyes that see,
give wisdom's heav'enly lore,
that whole and sick, and weak and strong,
may praise thee evermore.
