God Of My Life, Whose Gracious Power
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power
Through varied deaths my soul hath led,
Or turned aside the fatal hour,
Or lifted up my sinking head!
2 In all my ways Thy hand I own,
Thy ruling providence I see:
Assist me still my course to run,
And still direct my paths to Thee.
3 On Thee my helpless soul is cast,
And looks again Thy grace to prove;
I call to mind the wonders past,
The countless wonders of Thy love.
4 Thou, Lord, my spirit oft has stayed,
Hast snatched me from the gaping tomb,
A monument of Thy mercy made,
And rescued me from wrath to come.
5 Oft hath the sea confessed Thy power,
And gave me back to Thy command;
It could not, Lord, my life devour,
Safe in the hollow of Thine hand.
6 Oft from the margin of the grave
Thou, Lord, hast lifted up my head;
Sudden I found Thee near to save;
The fever owned Thy touch, and fled.
7 But O! The mightier work of grace,
That still the life of faith I live,
That still I pant to sing Thy praise,
That still my all I gasp to give.
8 Plucked from the roaring lion’s teeth,
Caught up from the eternal fire,
Snatched from the gates of hell I breathe,
And lo! to Heaven I still aspire!
9 Whither, oh whither should I fly,
But to my loving Savior’s breast;
Secure within Thine arms to lie,
And safe beneath Thy wings to rest!
10 I feel the fiery trial near,
But Thou, my God, art still the same;
Hell, earth, and sin I scorn to fear,
Divinely armed with Jesu’s name.
11 I have no skill the snare to shun,
But Thou, O Christ, my wisdom art;
I ever into ruin run:
But Thou art greater than my heart.
12 I have no might t’oppose the foe,
But everlasting strength is Thine.
Show me the way that I should go;
Show me the path I should decline.
13 Which shall I leave, and which pursue?
Thou only mine advisor be;
My God, I know not what to do;
But Oh! mine eyes are fixed on Thee.
14 Foolish, and impotent, and blind,
Lead me a way I have not known;
Bring me where I my heaven may find,
The heaven of loving Thee alone.
15 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room;
Enter, and in me ever stay;
The crooked then shalt straight become:
The darkness shall be lost in day! Used With Tune: ANGELUS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems 1740

O Christ, the Healer
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals 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 every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamour 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 diagnose 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. Topics: Healing Scripture: Psalm 6 Used With Tune: ANGELUS
O Christ, the Healer
O God of Grace and Righteousness
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God of grace and righteousness,
Hear and attend when I complain;
Thou hast enlarged me in distress,
Bow down a gracious ear again.
2. Ye sons of men, in vain ye try
To turn my glory into shame;
How long will scoffers love to lie,
And dare reproach my Savior’s name?
3. Know that the Lord divides His saints
From all the tribes of men beside;
He hears the cry of penitents,
For the dear sake of Christ that died.
4. When our obedient hands have done
A thousand works of righteousness
We put our trust in God alone,
And glory in His pard’ning grace.
5. Let the unthinking many say,
Who will bestow some earthly good?
But Lord, Thy light and love we pray;
Our souls desire this heav’nly food.
6. Then shall my cheerful powers rejoice,
At grace and favors so divine;
Nor will I change my happy choice
For all their corn, and all their wine. Used With Tune: ANGELUS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
To us Thy pard'ning love extend.
2 Almighty Son, Incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
To us Thy saving grace extend.
3 Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
To us Thy quick'ning power extend.
4 Thrice holy! Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead, Three in One,
Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.
Amen.

كما دنا الجمع السقيم
Author: الياس مرموره Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 كما دنا الجمعُ السقيمْ
مُلتمساً منك الشفاءْ
ندنو إليك يا رحيمْ
أيا ملاذ البؤساءْ
2 فأنت وحدك الطبيبْ
منك الخلاص والدواءْ
فارحم وخلِّص يا حبيبْ
وانفِ سَقاماً وعناءْ
3 أنت هو اليوم كما
كنت قديرٌ يا يسوعْ
فارحم وأشفق مثلما
رحِمتَ هاتيك الجموعْ
4 يا شمس بر أشرقتْ
بالبر في هذي الربوعْ
إجبِر قلوباً سُحِقتْ
حزناً وكفكف الدموعْ
5 يا معدِن اللطف الخفي
جودُك غيثٌ هاطلُ
أنت لنا الملجا القوي
صخرُ الدهور الكاملُ
6 إن أظلمت سبلُ الحياةْ
وخاب فيها الآملُ
ففيك نورٌ ونجاةْ
وما سواك باطلٌ

Behold, the Master passeth by!
Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Master passeth by!
Oh, seest thou not His pleading eye?
With low sad voice He calleth thee,
"Leave this vain world, and follow Me."
2 O soul, bound down with harrowing care,
Hast thou no thought for heaven to spare?
From earthly toils lift up thine eye;
Behold, the Master passeth by!
3 One heard Him calling long ago,
And straightway left all things below,
Counting his earthly gain as loss
For Jesus and His blessèd cross.
4 That "follow Me" his faithful ear
Seemed every day afresh to hear;
Its echoes stirred his spirit still,
And fired his hope, and nerved his will.
5 God gently calls us every day:
Why should we then our bliss delay?
He calls to heaven and endless light:
Why should we love the dreary night?
6 Praise, Lord, to Thee, for Matthew's call,
At which he rose and left his all:
Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me;
I will leave all, and follow Thee.
Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Matthew; Christ's Call; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: ANGELUS
