Your Hand, O Lord, in Days of Old

Author: Edward H. Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:35 Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O Lord, in days of old Was strong to heal and save; It triumphed over ills and death, O'er darkness and the grave. To You they came, the blind, the mute, The palsied and the lame, The lepers in their misery, The sick with fevered frame. 2 Your touch then, Lord,brought life and health, Gave speech and strength and sight; And youth renewed and frenzy calmed Revealed You, Lord of light. And now, O Lord, be near to bless, Almighty as before, In crowded street, by beds of pain, As by Gennes'ret's shore. 3 O be our great deliverer still, O Lord of life and death; Restore and quicken, soothe and bless, With Your life-giving breath. To hands that work and eyes that see Give wisdom's healing pow'r That whole and sick and weak and strong May praise You evermore. Topics: Society; Health and Healing Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Thou art my Light. 4 When Satan flings his fiery darts, I look to Thee, my terrors cease; Thy cross a hiding place imparts: Thou art my Peace. 5 Thou wilt my every want supply, E’en to the end, whate’er befall; Through life, in death, eternally, Thou art my All. Amen. Used With Tune: SULLIVAN

God fills them with his fullness, all things with large increase; he crowns the year with blessing, with plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all. Used With Tune: WIE LIEBLICH IST DER MAIEN

Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain while all around us waves the golden grain? And to each servant does the Savior say, "Go work today." 2 Come, labor on.

Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear! No one so weak but may do service here; Though feeble agents, may we all fulfill God's righteous will. 4 Come, labor on.
