Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #318 (1987) Lyrics: 1 We give God thanks for those who knew
the touch of Jesus' healing love;
they trusted him to make them whole,
to give them peace, their guilt remove.
2 We offer prayer for all who go
relying on his grace and power,
to help the anxious and the ill,
to heal their wounds, their lives restore.
3 We dedicate our skills and time
to those who suffer where we live,
to bring such comfort as we can
to meet their need, their pain relieve.
4 So Jesus' touch of healing grace
lives on within our willing care;
by thought and prayer and gifts we prove
his mercy still, his love we share. Topics: God's World Health and Healing; Christ the Healer; Pentecost 11 The Serving Community; Pentecost 12 The Witnessing Community Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
