The Great Physician
Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:19 First Line: Ye mourning sinners, here disclose Lyrics:
I. Ye mourning sinners, here disclose
Your deep complaints, your various woes;
Approach, 'tis Jesus, he can heal
The pains which mourning sinners feel.
II. To eyes long clos'd in mental night,
Strangers to all the joys of light,
His word imparts a blissful ray:
Sweet morning of celestial day!
III. Ye helpless lame, lift up your eyes,
The Lord, the Saviour bids you rise;
New life and strength his voice conveys,
And plaintive groans are chang'd for praise.
IV. Nor shall the leper, hopeless lie
Beneath the Great Physician's eye;
Sin's deepest pow'r his word controuls,
That fatal leprosy of souls.
V. That hand divine, which can asswage
The burning fever's restless rage;
That hand, omnipotent and kind,
Can cool the fever of the mind.
VI. When freezing palsy chills the veins,
And pale, cold death, already reigns,
He speaks; the vital pow'rs revive:
He speaks, and dying sinners live.
VII. Dear Lord, we wait thy healing hand;
Diseases fly at thy command:
O let thy sov'reign touch impart
Life, strength, and health to ev'ry heart!
VIII. Then shall the sick, the blind, the lame,
Adore their Great Physician's name;
Then dying souls shall bless their God,
And spread thy wond'rous praise abroad.

save in the death of Christ, my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingling down:
did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?

demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Passiontide; Year C Proper 9 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.

And, ere I censure, view the end;

Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abrah'm's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Lord, let me appear
The meanest of thy servant's here;
So that at length I may but taste
The blessings of thy marriage feast. Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Rich Man and Lazarus

Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:20 First Line: Lord, when I hear thy Children talk Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I hear thy Children talk,

My wretched Leanness I deplore,
'Till gladden'd with a Gleam of Hope
From this, "The Lord has bless'd the Poor."

Upwards I cast my Eyes and see,
Though I have Nothing of my own,
My Treasure is immense in Thee.
6 Still may I keep thy Love in View,
Lean there; nor envy those that run;
Still trust to--not what I can do,
But what thyself hast for me done.

Fix there my Heart: And for the rest,
Under thy forming Hands, my God,
Give me that Frame which thou lik'st best. Topics: Spiritual Poverty

good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding

my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.

upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

1 Blessed are the poor in spirit,

that his goodness may be shown.
Blest are they who share the sorrow
of their God's unchanging love;
they shall know his presence with them
and his promised comfort prove.

trained to serve a higher will,
wise to know the eternal purpose
which their Father shall fulfill.
Blest are they who with true passion
strive to make the right prevail,
for the earth is God's possession
and his purpose will not fail.
3 Blest are they who show their mercy
to the guilty and the poor,
for to them, set free from judgment,
shall be opened heaven's door.
Blessed, the sincere and truthful
from the lie's deception free,
for the God of truth and beauty
they in joy will surely see.
4 Blessed are the brave and peaceful,
bringing peace where'er they live,
God shall own them as his children
and through them his peace will give.
