At Even, When the Sun Was Set
Author: Henry Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 312 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:32 Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set,
the sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we,
oppressed with various ills, draw near:
what if thy form we cannot see?
We know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Savior Christ, our woes dispel:
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved thee well,
and some have lost the love they had.
4 O Savior Christ, thou too art man;
thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
thy kind but searching glance can scan
the very wounds that shame would hide.
5 Thy touch has still its ancient power;
no word from thee can fruitless fall;
hear in this solemn evening hour,
and in thy mercy heal us all.

At Even, When the Sun Was Set
O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:34 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 every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 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?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,208 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:34 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence; God in grace and mercy Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:29-39 Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old
were strong to heal and save;
they triumphed over pain and death,
o'er darkness and the grave.
To you they went, the blind, the mute,
the palsied and the lame,
the leper set apart and shunned,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 And then your touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed, with health restored,
claimed you, the Lord of light.
And so, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty now as then,
in every street, in every home,
in every troubled friend.
3 O be our mighty healer still,
O Lord of life and death;
restore and strengthen, soothe and bless
with your almighty breath.
On hands that work and eyes that see,
your healing wisdom pour,
that whole and sick and weak and strong
may praise you evermore. Topics: Healing; Epiphany (season) Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL'S

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:23-32 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise,
manifested by the star
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in thy birth at Bethlehem,
anthems be to thee addressed,
word in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest and King supreme,
and at Cana, wedding guest
in thy Godhead manifest.
manifest in pow'r divine,
changing water into wine,
anthems be to thee addressed,
God on earth made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs an fainting soul,
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might.
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill.
anthems be to thee addressed,
God for us made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
mirrored in thy holy Word;
may we imitate thee now,
and be pure, as pure art thou,
that we like to thee may be
at thy great epiphany,
and may praise thee, ever blest,
God for all made manifest.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Scripture: Mark 1:35 Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper rev'rence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress;
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the pulses of desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, its heats expire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm! Topics: Prayer; Confession of Sin; Peace, inner; Prayer; Rest Used With Tune: ELTON (REST)

Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight;
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And, where the gospel-day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!
2 Savior, you came to give
Those who in darkness live
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inward blind:
Now to all human-kind
Let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy dove,
Speed on your flight!
Move on the water’s face
Bearing the lamp of grace
And, in earth’s darkest place,
Let there be light!
4 Gracious and holy Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, love, might:
Boundless as ocean’s tide
Rolling in fullest pride
Through the world far and wide,
Let there be light! Topics: Trinity Sunday; Trinity Sunday; Healing; Light; New Creation; Petition Used With Tune: ITALIAN HYMN
