The Healing Power of Jesus

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 150 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:35 First Line: Behold the blind their sight receive Lyrics: 1 Behold the blind their sight receive! Behold, the dead awake, and live! The dumb speak wonder! and the lame Leap like the hart, and bless his name! 2 Thus doth th'eternal spirit own And seal the mission of the Son; The Father vindicates his cause, While he hangs bleeding on the cross. 3 He dies! the heav'ns in mourning stood; He rises, and appears a God! Behold the Lord ascending high, No more to bleed, no more to die. 4 Hence and forever from my heart I bid my doubts and fears depart; And to those hands my soul resign, Which bear credentials so divine.

Thou, the Peace that passeth knowledge, Dwellest in the daily strife; Thou, the Bread of heaven, art broken In the sacrament of life. 3 Every task, however simple, Sets the soul that does it free; Every deed of love and kindness Done to man is done to Thee. Jesus, Thou divine Companion, Help us all to work our best; Bless us in our daily labor, Lead us to our Sabbath rest. Amen. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews

Author: Bache Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:35-36 Lyrics: 1 See how he loved! exclaimed the Jews, As tender tears from Jesus fell: My grateful heart the theme pursues, And on his love delights to dwell. 2 See how he loved! who traveled on, Teaching the doctrine from the skies; He bade disease and pain begone, And called the sleeping dead to rise. 3 See how he loved! who, firm yet mild, With patience bore the scoffing tongue; Though oft provoked, he ne'er reviled, Nor did his enemies a wrong. 4 See how he loved! who never shrank From toil or danger, pain or death; He all the cup of sorrow drank, And meekly yielded up his breath. 5 Such love shall we unmoved survey? Oh, may our breasts with ardor glow, To tread his steps, his laws obey, And thus the love of Jesus show! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; The Love of Jesus
