Hymn 14
William Cowper
8,6,8,6
JEHOVAH–ROPHI,
I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Ex 1520 Heal us, EMMANUEL, here we are, Waiting to feel thy touch; Deep wounded souls to thee repair, And, Savior we are such. | Our faith is feeble we confess, We faintly trust thy word; But wilt thou pity us the less? Be that far from thee, Lord! | Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief; “Lord, I believe, with tears he cried, O help my unbelief.” Mk 9:24 | She too, who touched thee in the press, And healing virtue stole; Was answered, “Daughter, go in peace, Thy faith hath made thee whole.” Mk 5:34 | Concealed amid the gath’ring throng, She would have shunned thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too. | Like her, with hopes and fears, we come, To touch thee if we may; O! send us not despairing home, Send none unhealed away. | |
