Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: One in Faith #587 (2015) 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 ev'ry ailment flesh endures,
Our bodies clamor to be freed:
Yet in our hearts we would confess
That wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
We recognize the world's disease:
Our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
In your community may find
The wholeness that, enriching us,
Shall reach and prosper humankind. Topics: Healing Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR
