The Pool of Bethesda
Author: Bulfinch Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #116 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: The aged sufferer waited long Lyrics:
The aged sufferer waited long
Upon Bethesda’s brink;
Till hopes, once rising warm and strong,
Began in fears to sink;
And heavy were the sighs he drew,
And fervent was his prayer,
For he, with safety full in view,
Still languished helpless there.
His hope grew dim; but one was nigh
Who saw the sufferer’s grief;
That gentle voice, that pitying eye,
Gave promise of relief.
Each pang that human weakness knows
Obeyed that powerful word;
He spake, and lo! the sick arose,
Rejoicing in his Lord.
Father of Jesus, when oppressed
With grief and pain we lie,
And, longing for Thy heavenly rest,
Despair to look on high,
O, may the Saviour’s words of peace
Within the wounded heart
Bid every doubt and suffering cease,
And strength and joy impart!
