Jesus heals the broken hearted

Verse 1

Jesus heals the broken-hearted; O how sweet that sound to me! Once beneath my sin he smarted, Groaned, and bled to set me free.

Verse 2

By his sufferings, death, and merits; By his Godhead, blood, and pain; Broken hearts, or wounded spirits, Are at once made whole again.

Verse 3

Broken by the law’s loud thunder, To the cross for refuge flee! O’er his pungent sorrows ponder, ’Tis his stripes that healeth thee.

Verse 4

Oil and wine to heal and cherish, Jesus still to Israel gives; Nor shall e’er a sinner perish, Who in his dear name believes.

Verse 5

In his righteousness confiding, Sheltered safe beneath his wing; Here they find a sure abiding, And of covenant mercy sing.

Verse 6

Seek, my soul, no other healing, But in Jesus’ balmy blood; He, beneath the Spirit’s sealing, Stands thy great High Priest with God.
