Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #338 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: "Come, Lazarus," the Savior called Lyrics: 1 "Come, Lazarus," the Savior called,
and from the stony grave came forth
his friend, from death unthralled,
to show God's power to save.
2 It was no light or easy task
to wake this one who slept;
the Healer feigned no callous mark;
moved deeply, Jesus wept.
3 Fill us with your compassion, Lord,
our fear and pride remove,
till all our lives enflesh your word
and bear your wounds of love.
4 Convert our wills and make us whole;
wean us from selfish strife;
transform each heart and mind and soul
with your abundant life.
5 Then send us forth to show your love
in every time and place,
that healed and healing we may prove
the channels of your grace. Topics: Lent; Christ--Compassion of; Christian year--Lent; Healing; Wholeness Scripture: John 11:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR
