Phisician of Souls
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 165 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas, is nature's aid,
The work exceeds all nature's power.
2 Sin like a raging fever, reigns,
With fatal strength in every part;
The dire contagion fills the veins,
And spreads its poison to the heart.
3 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind phisician nigh
To ease the pain, and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?
4 There is a great phisician near,
Look up, O fainting soul, and live;
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give!
5 See in the Savior's dying blood
Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow!
'Tis only this dear, sacred flood
Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe.
6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart,
For here a sovereign Cure is found;
A cordial for a fainting heart,
A balm for every painful wound. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Physician of Souls; Christ Physician of the soul

a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!
2 Return, O holy Dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn
and drove thee from my breast.
3 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne,
and worship only thee.
4 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Topics: Confession; Discipleship and Mission; Gift of the Holy Spirit; Renewal; Repentance; Sin Languages: English Tune Title: CAITHNESS

Almost Persuaded
Author: Philip P. Bliss Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #327 (1980) Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20 First Line: "Almost persuaded," now to believe Lyrics: 1 “Almost persuaded,” now to believe;
“Almost persuaded,” Christ to receive;
Seems now some soul to say,
“Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
Some more convenient day
On Thee I’ll call.”
2 “Almost persuaded,” come, come today;
“Almost persuaded,” turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are ling’ring near,
Prayers rise from hearts so dear,
O wand’rer, come.
3 “Almost persuaded,” harvest is past!
“Almost persuaded,” doom comes at last!
“Almost” cannot avail;
“Almost” is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail,
“Almost,” but lost.
