the palsied and the lame,
the leper with his tainted life,
the sick with fevered frame.

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 of yore,
in crowded street, by restless couch,
as by Gennesareth's shore.

thou Lord of life and death;
restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
with thine almighty breath:

give wisdom's heavenly lore,

may praise thee evermore. Scripture: Matthew 14:34-36 Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW

in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in thy garner evermore.

bid us sing thy harvest-home. Used With Tune: ST GEORGE (ELVEY)
