Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12636 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Before Thy footstool kneeling,
To Thee, O Lord, we cry;
While for Thy gift of healing
We raise our voice on high:
Diseases and afflictions
Thy ready servants are;
Chastisement and corrections,
To quicken us in prayer.
2 We own our guilt and folly,
But Thou canst still forgive;
And Thou, most high and holy,
Canst bid the sick revive:
Though now cast down in sorrow,
In darkness and distress,
Joy may return tomorrow,
Through Thy restoring grace.
3 As suppliants now before Thee,
In Thy great name we plead;
Physician, we adore Thee,
And trembling ask Thine aid:
Before Thy footstool kneeling,
To Thee, to Thee we cry:
Send down Thy gift of healing
On Thee our souls rely. Languages: English Tune Title: CHENIES
