O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Sacraments/Rites Anointing of the Sick First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come 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'ery 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.

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: Anoint Lyrics: 1 My shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is his name; in pastures fresh he makes me feed beside the living stream. He brings my wand'ring spirit back when I forsake his ways and leads me, for his mercy's sake, in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death, his presence is my stay; one word of his supporting breath drives all my fears away. His hand, in sight of all my foes, will still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows; his oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; oh, may his 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 or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

'tis our heav'nly Leader's voice From the bright realms above; Amidst the war's tumultuous rage, A voice of pow'r and love. 2 "Maintain the fight, my faithful band, Nor fear the mortal blow; He, that in such a warfare dies, Shall speedy vict'ry know. 3 "I have my days of combat seen, And in the dust was laid: But now I sit upon my throne, And glory crowns my head. 4 "This throne, this glory you shall share; My hands the crown shall give; And you the sparkling honours wear, While God himself shall live." 5 Lord! 'tis enough, our souls are fir'd With courage and with love, Vain are th' assaults of earth and hell; Our hopes are fix'd above. 6 We'll trace the footsteps thou hast drawn To triumph and renown; Nor shun thy combat and thy cross, May we but share thy crown.
