Living Hymns ‎#80

80. Wilt Thou be Made Whole?

1. Hear the footsteps of Jesus,
He is now passing by,
Bearing balm for the wounded,
Healing all who apply;
As he spake to the suff'rer
Who lay at the pool,
He is saying this moment,
"Wilt thou be made whole?"

Refrain
Wilt thou be made whole?
Wilt thou be made whole?
O come, weary suff’rer,
O come, sin-sick soul;
See, the life-stream is flowing,
See, the cleansing waves roll,
Step into the current, and thou shalt be whole.

2 'Tis the voice of that Saviour,
Whose merciful call
Freely offers salvation
To one and to all:
He is now beck’ning to him
Each sin-tainted soul,
And lovingly asking,
"Wilt thou be made whole?" [Refrain]

3 Are you halting and struggling,
O'erpowered by your sin,
While the waters are troubled
Can you not enter in?
Lo, the Saviour stands waiting
To strengthen your soul,
He is earnestly pleading,
"Wilt thou be made whole?" [Refrain]

4 Blessed Saviour, assist us
To rest on thy word;
Let the soul-healing power
On us now be out-poured:
Wash away ev'ry sin-spot,
Take perfect control,
Say to each trusting spirit,
"Thy faith makes thee whole." [Refrain]
