When to Our World the Savior Came

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smtih, b. 1926 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 9 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 Calv'ry's hill; Who triumphed over cross and grave, His healing hands stretched forth to save. 5 His sov'reign purpose still remains Who rose in pow'r, and lives and reigns; Till ev'ry tongue confess His praise, The healing Christ of all our days.
