O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:1-10 First Line: O Christ, the healer, we have come Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come to pray for health, to plead for friends. How can we fail to be restored, when reached by love that never ends? 2 From every ailment flesh endures our bodies clamour to be freed; yet in our hearts we would confess that wholeness is our deepest need. 3 How strong, O Lord, are our desires, how weak our knowledge of ourselves! Release in us those healing truths unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 In conflicts that destroy our health we diagnose the world's disease; our common life declares our ills: is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, in your community may find the wholeness that, enriching us, shall reach the whole of humankind.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:36-50 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar, by Love’s divine appointing. With rare perfume she filled the room, presiding and anointing. A prophet-woman broke a jar, the sneers of scorn defying. With rare perfume she filled the room, preparing Christ for dying. 2 A faithful woman left a tomb by Love’s divine commission. She saw; she heard; she preached the Word, arising from submission. A faithful woman left a tomb, with resurrection gospel. She saw; she heard; she preached the Word, apostle to apostles. 3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth, for centuries were hidden, unsung, unwritten, and unheard, derided and forbidden, the Spirit’s breath, the Spirit’s fire, on free and slave descending, can tumble our dividing walls, our shame and sadness mending. 4 The Spirit knows; the Spirit calls, by Love’s divine ordaining, the friends we need, to serve and lead, their powers and gifts unchaining. The Spirit knows; the Spirit calls, from women, men, and children, the friends we need, to serve and lead. Rejoice, and make them welcome!

O Blessed word, our Lord express'd

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:11-17 Lyrics: 1 O Blessed word, our Lord express'd, To the poor widow much distress'd-- When thus he saw her weep and mourn: The death and loss of her dear son. 2 Weep not poor widow, said our Lord, O! what a consolating word! A word of comfort evermore, By which the Saviour prov'd his pow'r. 3 It calm'd her sorrows, eas'd her pain, When Christ restor'd her son again; What more could she on earth request, To set her troubled heart to rest. 4 What we esteem of greatest worth, And do prefer to all on earth: Is often soon removed hence, And we bewail the consequence. 5 But all must answer for our good, Though its a cross to flesh and blood; Our deepest sorrows, tears and cries, Can work the greatest weight of joys. 6 For all our sorrows, woes, and grief, The Saviour brings about relief; All his corrections in the end, Proves him to be our greatest friend.
