Thou, Lord, Hast Power to Heal

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou, Lord, hast power to heal, And Thou wilt quickly aid, For Thou dost deeply feel The stripes upon us laid: Thou who wast wounded by the rod Uplifted in the hand of God. 2. Send speedy help, we pray, To him who ailing lies, That from his couch he may With thankful heart arise; Through prayers which all availing find Thine ear, O Lover of mankind. 3. O blinded are our eyes, And all are held in night; But like the blind who cries, We cry to Thee for light; In penitence, O Christ, we pray, Give us the radiant light of day.

They did not build in vain

Author: Alan Luff, 1928- Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain who founded here a church as witness to God's love amid a world of pain, for still, to those who wish to see this place proclaims God's mystery. 2 They built upon the rock that is the risen Lord, the one foundation laid which stands each earthly shock; that, Spirit filled, we here might raise, as living temples, prayer and praise. 3 Those who have loved this place, a cloud of witnesses, surround and urge us on as we now run our race, and so we lay aside each sin in our desire to strive and win. 4 Though the horizon's bend conceals the way ahead, the footprints on the road show Christ waits at the end; in him alone our faith shall stand who waits for us at God's right hand. 5 Here is our meeting place where doubt finds grounds of faith, where hurt finds healing love, our penitence your grace; where bridging time to eternity is God the holy Trinity.

Ye Servants Of The Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord, In Jesu’s praises join, Who now confirms His word, And sends another sign, Sign of His day, and kingdom near: Look up, and see your Lord appear! 2 His coming He foreshows By famine, plague, and war, And epidemic woes His swift approach declare, Trembles the earth to find Him near: Look up, and see your Lord appear! 3 Hark how all nature groans In pangs of second birth! Expect, ye ransomed ones, A new created earth, The ruin of the old is near: Look up, and see your Lord appear! 4 His tokens we espy, And now lift up our head, And in the earthquake cry, It is my Savior’s tread! He comes to save His servants here: Look up, and see your Lord appear. 5 We do with joy look up, In national distress, With confidence of hope, To meet the Prince of Peace, We, unappalled in general fear, Look up, and see our Lord appear. 6 Our Lord appears again, His glorious power to show, He comes, He comes to reign, With all His saints below, Judgment is mercy’s harbinger; The earth is gone—and Christ is here!
