Teach us your intent: to human need, our quickened hearts awake; fill us with power, our lips make eloquent for righteousness that shall all evil break. 4 Anoint us kings! Help us do justice, Lord! Anoint us with the Spirit of your Son: ours not a monarch's crown or tyrant's sword; ours by the love of Christ a kingdom won. 5 Make us apostles, heralds of your cross; forth may we go to tell all realms your grace: by you inspired, may we count all but loss, and stand at last with joy before your face.

O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Romans 1:28-32 First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come 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 How strong, O Lord, are our desires, how weak our knowledge of ourselves! Release in us those healing truths unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 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? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, in your community may find the wholeness that, enriching us, shall reach the whole of humankind.
