O Christ, the Healer

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Appears in 37 hymnals 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 ev'ery ailment flesh endures Our bodies clamor 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 recognize 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.
