Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Topics: Afflictions Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old were strong to heal and save; they triumphed over pain and death, o'er darkness and the grave. To you they went, the blind, the mute, the palsied and the lame, the leper set apart and shunned, the sick and those in shame. 2 And then your touch brought life and health, gave speech and strength and sight; and youth renewed, with health restored, claimed you, the Lord of light. And so, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty now as then, in every street, in every home, in every troubled friend. 3 O be our mighty healer still, O Lord of life and death; restore and strengthen, soothe and bless with your almighty breath. On hands that work and eyes that see, your healing wisdom pour, that whole and sick and weak and strong may praise you evermore. Scripture: Matthew 14:14 Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL'S

O Holy Saviour, Friend Unseen

Author: Charlotte Elliott, 1789-1871 Appears in 310 hymnals Topics: Affliction Lyrics: 1 O Holy Savior, Friend unseen, Since on Thine arm Thou bidd'st me lean, Help me throughout life's varying scene, By faith to cling to Thee. 2 What tho' the world deceitful prove, And earthly friends and joys remove; With patient, uncomplaining love, Still would I cling to Thee. 5 Tho' oft I seem to tread alone Life's dreary waste, with thorns o'er-grown, Thy voice of love in gentlest tone, Still whispers, "Cling to Me!" 4 Tho' faith and hope are often tried, I ask not, need not aught beside; So safe, so calm, so satisfied, The soul that clings to Thee! 5 Blest is my lot, whate'er befall; What can disturb me, who appall, While as my Strength, my Rock, my All, Saviour, I cling to Thee? Amen. Used With Tune: FLEMMING

Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 2 Though, like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven: All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!
