Ah, Holy Jesus
Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Seymour Bridges Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 135 hymnals First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended,
that mortal judgment has on you descended?
By foes derided, by your own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you?
It is my treason, Lord, that has undone you.
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you;
I crucified you.
3 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation,
your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation,
your death of anguish and your bitter passion,
for my salvation.
4 Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay you,
I do adore you, and will ever pray you,
think on your pity and your love unswerving,
not my deserving.

O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals 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 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?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

share your children's liberty: (Refrain)

all that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
to a just society: (Refrain)
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity: (Refrain)

He has redeemed me from the grave,
and in his service I delight.

my gift and call upon God’s name,
Before his saints I pay my vow
and here my gratitude proclaim.
5 Within his house, the house of prayer,
I dedicate myself to God.
Let all his saints his grace declare
and join to sound his praise abroad.

with the power of love and witness,
with the peace beyond compare:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.
