O Christ, the healer, we have come
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-14 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored,
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamour to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires,
how weak our knowledge of ourselves!
Release in us those healing truths
unconscious pride resists or shelves.
4 In conflicts that destroy our health
we diagnose the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills:
is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
5 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind. Topics: The Church Celebrates; The Church Celebrates Wholeness and Healing; Suffering; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: ANGELUS

Before the Dawn Had Broken
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 2 Kings 5:1-14 Lyrics: 1 Before the dawn had broken,
before God's lamp was spent,
a boy heard someone calling
and wondered what it meant.
The old priest reassured him,
so Samuel, without fear,
said, ""God, your servant listens,
and waits, your word to hear.""
2 A young lad went to battle
a giant ten feet tall,
while others watched and trembled,
and thought to see him fall.
Said David, ""God protects me;
I come in God's own name.""
God helped him save the people,
by faith make good his claim.
3 The soldier was a leper
who thought his doom was sure,
but then a young girl told him,
"God's prophet has a cure."
She sent him to Elisha
who showed him what to do.
and he, made whole and healthy,
saw he could trust God too.
4 The multitude was hungry.
“We have no food,” they said.
A little boy came forward
to share his fish and bread.
“It is enough,” said Jesus,
“this gift of love will last.”
He blessed the loaves and fishes,
and no one had to fast.
5 A child becomes a prophet,
a shepherd boy a king,
a maid, a means of healing.
a boy, of offering.
May we have faith like children,
like them come to believe
that when we trust love’s power
great blessings we receive.
