And so, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty now as then, in every street, in every home, in every troubled friend. 3 O be our mighty healer still, O Lord of life and death; restore and strengthen, soothe and bless with your almighty breath. On hands that work and eyes that see, your healing wisdom pour, that whole and sick and weak and strong may praise you evermore. Topics: Healing; Epiphany (season) Languages: English Tune Title: ST.

But let the righteous, when I stray, Smite me in love,--his strokes are kind; His mild reproofs, like oil, allay The wounds they make, and heal the mind. Mine eyes are unto Thee, my God! Behold me humbled in the dust; I kiss the hand that wields the rod, I own thy chastisements are just.

The Lord will keep him, guard his life, on earth he shall be blest; the Lord will not surrender him by foes to be distressed. 2 Upon the bed of suffering Jehovah will sustain, and in his sickness God will soothe the weariness and pain. O LORD, to Thee my cry ascends, let me Thy mercy see; heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, I have offended Thee. 3 My enemies against me speak, and they my life have scorned; they wish my name to pass away, unhonored and unmourned. My foe, deceitful, visits me, by seeming kindness led, his heart intent on gathering some hurtful news to spread. 4 My foes, together whispering, their evil plans devise; disease, they say, cleaves fast to him, laid low, he shall not rise. Yea, he who was my chosen friend, in whom I put my trust, who ate my bread, now turns in wrath to crush me in the dust. 5 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, and raise me up again, that I with justice may requite these base and wicked men. By this I know assuredly that I am loved by Thee, because my foe does not exult in triumph over me. 6 And as for me, in uprightness Thou dost uphold me well, and settest me before Thy face forevermore to dwell. Blest be Jehovah, Israel’s God forevermore. Amen. Let age to age eternally repeat His praise. Amen. Topics: Confession and Propitiation Languages: English Tune Title: HIGH OVER ALL
