1 Suff’ring for years,
Filled with many fears,
Once a woman to the Savior came;
Wondrous healing pow’r
Felt that very hour,
When in faith she touched his garment’s hem.

Refrain:
Jesus has healed me,
Jesus has healed me,
Banished my affliction and my pain;
Tho’ I suffered much,
By his healing touch
I now am restored to health again.

2 Down by the pool
Of Bethesda cool,
Waited there a man infirm of yore;
Jesus to him said,
“Rise, take up thy bed,
Go thy way in peace, and sin no more.” [Refrain]

3 Banished from home,
See the leper come
To the Savior, seeking for release;
Spake he gently then
To the man unclean,
“Lo, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” [Refrain]

4 At evening came
Blind and halt and lame,
Gathering to Jesus at the door;
See the Blessed Son
Healing ev’ry one,—
All of those who came he die restore. [Refrain]

For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to so… Go to person page >
