Hymn 630
O Thou, whom once they flocked to hear
- mf O Thou, whom once they flocked to hear,
Thy words to hear. Thy pow'r to feel;
cr Suffer the sinners to draw near.
And graciously receive us still.
- mf They that be whole. Thyself hast said.
No need of a physician have;
But I am sick, and want Thine aid,
And want Thine utmost pow'r to save.
- Thy pow'r, and truth, and love divine
The same from age to age endure;
A word, a gracious word of Thine,
The most inveterate plague can cure.
- mp Helpless howe'er my spirit lies
And long hath languish'd at the pool,
A word of Thine shall make me rise.
And speak me in a moment whole.
- Eighteen, or eight-and-thirty, years
Or thousands, are alike to Thee
Soon as Thy saving grace appears.
My plague is gone, my heart is free.
- f Make this the acceptable hour,
Come, O my soul's Physician, Thou!
Display Thy sanctifying pow'r.
And show me Thy salvation now.
Christly Living
