There Is a Balm in Gilead
Phisician of Souls
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 165 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 First Line: Deep are the wounds which sin has made Lyrics: 1 Deep are the wounds which sin hath made
Where shall the sinner find a cure?
In vain, alas, is nature's aid,
The work exceeds all nature's power.
2 Sin like a raging fever, reigns,
With fatal strength in every part;
The dire contagion fills the veins,
And spreads its poison to the heart.
3 And can no sovereign balm be found?
And is no kind phisician nigh
To ease the pain, and heal the wound,
Ere life and hope for ever fly?
4 There is a great phisician near,
Look up, O fainting soul, and live;
See, in his heavenly smiles appear
Such ease as nature cannot give!
5 See in the Savior's dying blood
Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow!
'Tis only this dear, sacred flood
Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe.
6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart,
For here a sovereign Cure is found;
A cordial for a fainting heart,
A balm for every painful wound. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Physician of Souls; Christ Physician of the soul

Alas, precious soul, this may be thy sad cry:
“The Spirit is gone I’ve so often offended,
And now with the lost I must perish and die.”
Refrain:
The harvest is past,
And I am not saved;
How fearful the cost
For a soul to be lost!

The last call of mercy forever is gone,
And down to the regions of darkness eternal,
In anguish I take my sad journey alone. [Refrain]
3 The harvest is past and the summer is ended,
Refusing entreaties still harder I’ve grown;
Salvation I’ve slighted, and now, unforgiven,
I reap for my soul of the seed I have sown. [Refrain]

Awaken, dear soul, ere it be thy sad moan;
The Savior is willing and waiting to save you,
Oh, come, ere His Spirit forever has flown.

Great God, as seasons disappear
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20 Lyrics: 1 Great God, as seasons disappear,
And changes make the rolling year;
As time, with rapid pinions flies,
May ev'ry season make us wise.
2 Long has thy favour crown'd our days,
And summer shed again its rays;
No deadly cloud our sky has veil'd,
No blasting winds our path assail'd.
3 Our harvest months have o'er us roll'd,
And fill'd our fields with waving gold;
Our tables spread, our garner stor'd!
Where are our hearts to praise the Lord!
4 The solemn harvest comes apace,
The closing day of life and grace:
Time of decision, awful hour!
Around it let no tempest low'r!
5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
Like stars in heaven to rise and shine;
Then shall our happy souls above,
Reap the full harvest of thy love! Topics: Autumn

The awful Judge appear,
Prepar'd to scan with strict account,
My blessings wasted here.

Burn'd to the lowest hell--
And in that hopeless world of wo,
He bade my spirit dwell.
3 Ye sinners, fear the Lord,
While yet 'tis call'd today;
Soon will the awful voice of death
Command your souls away.
4 Soon will the harvest close--
The summer soon be o'er--
And soon, your injur'd, angry God
Will hear your prayers no more. Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment; The harvest is past

fount of life alone,
here we hail thee present
on thine altar- throne:
humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
in the mystic symbols
veiled from earthly sight.
2 Think, O Lord, in mercy
on the souls of those
who, in faith gone from us,
now in death repose.
Here 'mid stress and conflict
toils can never cease;
there, the warfare ended,
bid them rest in peace.
3 Often were they wounded
in the deadly strife;
heal them, Good Physician,
with the balm of life.
Every taint of evil,
frailty and decay,
good and gracious Saviour,
cleanse and purge away.
4 Rest eternal grant them,
after weary fight;
shed on them the radiance
of thy heavenly light.
Lead them onward, upward,
to the holy place,
where thy saints made perfect
gaze upon thy face. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls; Proper 26 Year C; Remembrance Sunday Used With Tune: EUDOXIA
