Author: Hardwicke D. Rawnsley, 1851-1920 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #435 (1978) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, whose will is life and good
For all of mortal breath:
Unite in bonds of servant-hood
All those who strive with death.
2 Make strong their hands and hearts and wills
To drive disease afar,
To strive against the body's ills
And wage your healing war.
3 By healing of the sick and blind,
Christ's mercy they proclaim,
Make known the great physician's mind,
Affirm the Savior's name.
4 Before them set your gracious will,
That they, with heart and soul,
To you may consecrate their skill
And make the suff'rer whole. Topics: Society; Death; Healing; Society Languages: English Tune Title: LEUPOLD
