Author: Peter David Smith (b. 1938) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #350 (2008) Meter: 11.6.11.5 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus the healer passed through Galilee,
Heal us, heal us today.
the deaf came to hear and the blind came to see.
Heal us, Lord Jesus.
2 A paralyzed man was let down through a roof.
Heal us, heal us today.
His sins were forgiven, his walking the proof.
Heal us, Lord Jesus.
3 The death of his daughter caused Jairus to weep.
Heal us, heal us today.
The Lord took her hand, and he raised her from sleep.
Heal us, Lord Jesus.
4 When blind Bartimaeus cried out to the Lord,
Heal us, heal us today.
His faith made him whole and his sight was restored.
Heal us, Lord Jesus.
5 The twelve were commissioned and sent out in twos,
Heal us, heal us today.
to make the sick whole and to spread the good news.
Heal us, Lord Jesus.
6 The lepers were healed and the demons cast out.
Heal us, heal us today.
A bent woman straightened to laugh and to shout.
Heal us, Lord Jesus.
7 There's still so much sickness and suffering today.
Heal us, heal us today.
We gather together for healing, and pray:
Heal us, Lord Jesus. Topics: Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; The Church Celebrates Wholenss and Healing; Children; Gathering; Healing Scripture: James 5:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: HEALER
