Phisician of Souls

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas, is nature's aid, The work exceeds all nature's power. 2 Sin like a raging fever, reigns, With fatal strength in every part; The dire contagion fills the veins, And spreads its poison to the heart. 3 And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind phisician nigh To ease the pain, and heal the wound, Ere life and hope for ever fly? 4 There is a great phisician near, Look up, O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 5 See in the Savior's dying blood Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear, sacred flood Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe. 6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart, For here a sovereign Cure is found; A cordial for a fainting heart, A balm for every painful wound.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20 Lyrics: 1 Great God, as seasons disappear, And changes make the rolling year; As time, with rapid pinions flies, May ev'ry season make us wise. 2 Long has thy favour crown'd our days, And summer shed again its rays; No deadly cloud our sky has veil'd, No blasting winds our path assail'd. 3 Our harvest months have o'er us roll'd, And fill'd our fields with waving gold; Our tables spread, our garner stor'd! Where are our hearts to praise the Lord! 4 The solemn harvest comes apace, The closing day of life and grace: Time of decision, awful hour! Around it let no tempest low'r! 5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, Like stars in heaven to rise and shine; Then shall our happy souls above, Reap the full harvest of thy love! Topics: Autumn
