Thou Lord of life, our saving Health
Samuel Longfellow (1886) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 90:17
Verse 1
Thou Lord of life, our saving Health, Who mak'st Thy suffering ones our care, Our gifts are still our truest wealth, To serve Thee our sincerest prayer.
Verse 2
As on the river's rising tide Flow strength and coolness from the sea, So through the ways our hands provide May quickening life flow in from Thee.
Verse 3
To heal the wound, to still the pain, And strength to failing pulses bring, Till the lame feet shall leap again, And the parched lips with gladness sing.
Verse 4
Bless Thou the gifts our hands have brought: Bless Thou the work our hearts have planned: Ours is the hope, the will, the thought; The rest, O God, is in Thy hand.
Verse 5
Amen.
