O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Care of the Sick; Rites of the Church Rite of Anointing (Care of the Sick) 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 ev'ry 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.

Your hand, in sight of all my foes, Does still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, And all my work be praise! There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come. No more a stranger, nor a guest; But like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Pastoral Care of the Sick Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in God's justice Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of the Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in his blood.
