Thou to Whom the sick and dying

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Hospitals Lyrics: 1 Thou to Whom the sick and dying Ever came, nor came in vain, Still with healing word replying To the wearied cry of pain; Hear us, Jesus, as we meet Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat. 2 Every care, and every sorrow, Be it great, or be it small, Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow, When, where'er it may befall, Lay we humbly at Thy feet, Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat. 3 Still the weary, sick and dying Need a brother's, sister's care, On Thy higher help relying May we now their burden share, Bringing all our offerings meet Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat. 4 May each child of Thine be willing, Willing both in hand and heart, All the law of love fulfilling, Ever comfort to impart, Ever bringing offerings meet Suppliant to Thy mercy-seat. 5 So may sickness, sin and sadness To Thy healing virtue yield, Till the sick and sad, in gladness, Rescued, ransomed, cleansèd, healed, One in Thee together meet, Pardoned at Thy judgment-seat. Amen. Used With Tune: [Thou to Whom the sick and dying]

How Blessed Is This Place, O Lord

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Hospital Lyrics: 1 How blessed is this place, O Lord, Where Thou art worshiped and adored; Our faith would here an altar raise Unto Thy glory, God of praise! 2 Here let Thy sacred fire of old Descend to kindle spirits cold; And may our prayers, when here we bend, Like incense sweet to Thee ascend. 3 Here let the weary one find rest, The aching heart a comfort blest, The guilty soul a sure retreat, The sinner pardon at Thy feet. 4 Here gather us around Thy board To keep the feast with Thee, dear Lord, And when in faith our souls draw near, May we discern Thy presence here. 5 And when these earthly Sabbaths cease, O may our souls depart in peace, Around Thy glorious throne to meet, And find it, Lord, a mercy-seat! Amen. Used With Tune: LOB SEI DEM ALLMÄCHTIGEN GOTT

Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old

Author: Rev. E. H. Plumptre Appears in 177 hymnals Topics: Hospitals Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old Was strong to heal and save; It triumphed o'er disease and death, O'er darkness and the grave. To Thee they went, the blind, the deaf, The palsied, and the lame, The leper with his tainted life, The sick with fevered frame. 2 And lo! Thy touch brought life and health, Gave speech, and strength, and sight; And youth renewed and frenzy calmed Owned Thee, the Lord of light: And now, O Lord, be near to bless, Almighty as of yore, In crowded street, by restless couch, As by Gennesareth's shore. 3 Though love and might no longer heal By touch, or word, or look; Though they who do Thy work must read Thy laws in nature's book: Yet come to heal the sick man's soul Come, cleanse the leprous taint; Give joy and peace, where all is strife, And strength, where all is faint. 4 Be Thou our great deliverer still, Thou Lord of life and death, Restore and quicken, soothe and bless, With thine almighty breath. To hands that work and eyes that see, Give wisdom's heavenly lore, That whole and sick, and weak and strong, May praise Thee evermore. Amen. Used With Tune: [Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old]

O Thou through suffering perfect made

Author: Bp. W. W. How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Hospitals First Line: O Thou thro' suffering perfect made Lyrics: 1 O Thou thro' suffering perfect made, On Whom the bitter cross was laid; In hours of sickness, grief, and pain, No sufferer turns to Thee in vain. 2 The halt, the maimed, the sick, the blind, Sought not in vain Thy tendance kind; Now in Thy poor Thyself we see, And minister through them to Thee. 3 O loving Saviour, Thou canst cure The pains and woes Thou didst endure; For all who need, Physician great, Thy healing balm we supplicate. 4 But, oh, far more, let each keen pain And hour of woe be heavenly gain, Each stroke of Thy chastising rod Bring back the wanderer nearer God. 5 Oh, heal the bruisèd heart within! Oh, save our souls all sick with sin! Give life and health in bounteous store, That we may praise Thee evermore! Amen. Used With Tune: [O Thou thro' suffering perfect made]
