Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Common Praise #349 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When to our world the Saviour came
the sick and helpless heard his name,
and in their weakness longed to see
the healing Christ of Galilee.
2 That good physician! Night and day
the people thronged about his way;
and wonder ran from soul to soul,
'The touch of Christ has made us whole!'
3 His praises then were heard and sung
by opened ears and loosened tongue,
while lightened eyes could see and know
the healing Christ of long ago.
4 Of long ago: yet living still,
who died for us on Calvary's hill;
who triumphed over cross and grave,
his healing hands stretched forth to save.
5 His sovereign purpose still remains
who rose in power, and lives and reigns;
till every tongue confess his praise,
the healing Christ of all our days. Topics: Healing; Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year B; Fourth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 8 Year B Scripture: Luke 5:12-32 Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
