56. They Healed the Sick

1 They healed the sick in Jesus' Name
Joh, Peter James, and Paul,
Apostles whom our Saviour sent
To bring His joy to all.

2 Now priests and bishops in God's Church,
Who work on earth today,
With holy oil anoint the sick,
And for each one they pray.

3 I, too, have work to do for God.
Baptized into His grace
I pray to Him for those I love,
Both here and every place.
