The Great Physician
Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:19 First Line: Ye mourning sinners, here disclose Lyrics:
I. Ye mourning sinners, here disclose
Your deep complaints, your various woes;
Approach, 'tis Jesus, he can heal
The pains which mourning sinners feel.
II. To eyes long clos'd in mental night,
Strangers to all the joys of light,
His word imparts a blissful ray:
Sweet morning of celestial day!
III. Ye helpless lame, lift up your eyes,
The Lord, the Saviour bids you rise;
New life and strength his voice conveys,
And plaintive groans are chang'd for praise.
IV. Nor shall the leper, hopeless lie
Beneath the Great Physician's eye;
Sin's deepest pow'r his word controuls,
That fatal leprosy of souls.
V. That hand divine, which can asswage
The burning fever's restless rage;
That hand, omnipotent and kind,
Can cool the fever of the mind.
VI. When freezing palsy chills the veins,
And pale, cold death, already reigns,
He speaks; the vital pow'rs revive:
He speaks, and dying sinners live.
VII. Dear Lord, we wait thy healing hand;
Diseases fly at thy command:
O let thy sov'reign touch impart
Life, strength, and health to ev'ry heart!
VIII. Then shall the sick, the blind, the lame,
Adore their Great Physician's name;
Then dying souls shall bless their God,
And spread thy wond'rous praise abroad.
The Great Physician

When I survey the wondrous cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:21 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of Glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God:
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingling down:
did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were an off'ring far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Passiontide; Year C Proper 9 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

In what confusion earth appears!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:25 Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears!
God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.
2 But patient let my soul attend,
And, ere I censure, view the end;
That end, how diff'rent! who can tell
The wide extremes of heaven and hell?
3 See the red flames around him twine,
Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abrah'm's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Lord, let me appear
The meanest of thy servant's here;
So that at length I may but taste
The blessings of thy marriage feast. Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Rich Man and Lazarus

Blessed be ye Poor
Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:20 First Line: Lord, when I hear thy Children talk Lyrics: 1 Lord, when I hear thy Children talk,
(And I believe 'tis often true)
How with Delight thy Ways they walk,
And gladly thy Commandments do.
2 In my own Breast I look, and read
Accounts so very diff'rent there,
That had I not thy Blood to plead,
Each Sight would sink me to Despair.
3 Needy, and naked, and unclean,
Empty of Good, and full of Ill,
A lifeless Lump of loathsome Sin,
Without the Power to act or will.
4 I feel my fainting Spirits droop;
My wretched Leanness I deplore,
'Till gladden'd with a Gleam of Hope
From this, "The Lord has bless'd the Poor."
5 Then while I make my secret Moan,
Upwards I cast my Eyes and see,
Though I have Nothing of my own,
My Treasure is immense in Thee.
6 Still may I keep thy Love in View,
Lean there; nor envy those that run;
Still trust to--not what I can do,
But what thyself hast for me done.
7 My Treasure is thy precious Blood
Fix there my Heart: And for the rest,
Under thy forming Hands, my God,
Give me that Frame which thou lik'st best. Topics: Spiritual Poverty

in hope that one they heard was Lord
would make their souls and bodies well
with healing touch or saving word.

while often in their rooms of prayer
God's people worship, safe and sound,
unheeding, even unaware.
3 Recall us to our mission, Lord,
to reach for those cut off, in pain;
to offer friendship, strength, and peace
and be a faithful Church again. Used With Tune: BOZELL

with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.
