1. Jesus, in sickness and in pain,
Be near to succor me,
My sinking spirit still sustain;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

2. When cares and sorrows thicken round,
And nothing bright I see,
In Thee alone can help be found;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

3. Should strong temptations fierce assail,
As if to ruin me,
Then in Thy strength will I prevail,
While still I turn to Thee.

4. Through all my pilgrimage below,
Whate’er my lot may be,
In joy or sadness, weal or woe,
Jesus, I’ll turn to Thee.

Author: Thomas Gallaudet

Born: June 3, 1822, Hartford, Connecticut. Died: August 27, 1902, New York City. Buried: Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford, Connecticut. Gallaudet was ordained to the diaconate June 16, 1850, and became an Episcopal priest in 1851. Among his achievements was the founding of St. Ann’s Church for Deaf Mutes in New York City in 1852, which in effect launched the Episcopalian mission to the deaf. He also founded the Gallaudet Home for Deaf-Mutes, near Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1885. Note: Gallaudet is often confused with his father, Dr. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, founder of the first American school for the deaf. Cyber Hymnal Go to person page >
