Author: Edward H. Plumptre Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #102 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed o'er disease and death,
O'er darkness and the grave.
2 To Thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
The palsied and the lame,
The leper with his tainted life,
The sick with fevered frame.
3 And lo, Thy touch brought life and health,
Gave speech, and strength, and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned Thee, the Lord of light.
4 Be Thou our great Deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With Thine almighty breath.
5 To hands that work and eyes that see,
Give wisdom's heavenly lore,
That whole and sick, and weak and strong,
May praise Thee evermore.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Life Scripture: Matthew 8:3 Tune Title: ST. MATTHEW
