Author: Henry Twells Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #336 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set,
The sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we,
Oppressed with various ills, draw near:
What if thy form we cannot see;
We know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel:
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved thee well,
And some have lost the love they had;
4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest,
For none are wholly free from sin;
And they who fain would serve thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
5 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man,
Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
6 Thy touch has still its ancient pow'r;
No word from thee can fruitless fall:
Hear in this solemn evening hour,
And in thy mercy heal us all.
Amen. Topics: Christ Compassion of; Christ Humanity of; Christ Life, Ministry and Obedience of; The Church The Lord's Day Evening; Supplication For Temporal Blessings; Tribulation and Suffering Scripture: Mark 1:32 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS
