O Christ, the healer, we have come

Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #717 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.

At evening, when the sun had set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #824 (1997) Lyrics: 1 At evening, when the sun had set, the sick, O Lord, around you lay: in such distress and pain they met, but with what joy they went away! 2 Once more the evening falls, and we oppressed with many ills, draw near, and though your form we cannot see, we know and feel that you are here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our cares dispel, for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved you well, and some have lost the love they had, 4 and all desire your perfect rest, for none is wholly free from sin, and those who long to serve you best are most aware of wrong within. 5 O Saviour Christ, O Son of Man, you have been troubled, tempted, tried; your kind but searching glance can scan the very wounds that shame would hide. 6 Your touch has still its ancient power; no word from you can fruitless fall: hear us, touch us in this hour, and in your mercy heal us all.

Who hears the call, Constant in prayer, through toil and pain, Telling of One who died for all, To bring a lost world home again? 4 "Lord, here am I:" Your fire impart To this poor cold self-centered soul; Touch but my lips, my hands, my heart, And make a world for Christ my goal. 5 Spirit of love, within us move: Spirit of truth, in pow'r come down!

Nature with Open Volume Stands

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4491 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Nature with open volume stands, To spread her maker’s praise abroad; And every labor of His hands Shows something worthy of a God. 2. But in the grace that rescued man His brightest form of glory shines; Here, on the cross, ’tis fairest drawn, In precious blood and crimson lines. 3. Here His whole name appears complete; Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove, Which of the letters best is writ, The power, the wisdom, or the love. 4. Here I behold His inmost heart, Where grace and vengeance strangely join, Piercing His Son with sharpest smart, To make the purchased pleasure mine. 5. O! the sweet wonders of that cross, Where God the Savior loved and died Her noblest life my spirit draws From His dear wounds and bleeding side. 6. I would forever speak His name, In sounds to mortal ears unknown; With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at His Father’s throne. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS

Now Let Our Mournful Songs Record

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4632 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Now let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When He complained in tears and blood, As one forsaken of his God. 2. The Jews beheld Him thus forlorn, And shake their heads, and laugh in scorn: “He rescued others from the grave; Now let him try himself to save. 3. This is the man did once pretend God was his Father and his Friend; If God the blessèd loved him so, Why doth He fail to help him now? 4. Barbarous people! cruel priests! How they stood round like savage beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left Him in their power. 5. They wound His head, His hands, His feet, Till streams of blood each other meet; By lot His garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which He died. 6. But God, the Father, heard His cry; Raised from the dead, He reigns on high; The nations learn His righteousness, And humble sinners taste His grace. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS

O God of Grace and Righteousness

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4890 Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS

O God, whose presence glows in all, Within, around us, and above; Thy Word we bless, Thy name we call, Whose Word is truth, whose name is love. 2. That truth be with the heart believed Of all who seek this sacred place! With power proclaimed, in peace received, Our spirit’s light, Thy Spirit’s grace. 3. That love its holy influence pour To keep us meek, and make us free, And throw its binding blessing more Round each with all, and all with Thee! 4. Direct and guard the youthful strength Devoted to Thy Son this day; And give Thy Word full course at length O’er man’s defeats and time’s decay. 5. O send its angel to our side! Send in its calm upon the breast! For we would know no other guide, And we can need no other rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS
