Thine Arm, O Lord, in Days of Old

- 1Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old,was strong to heal and save;It triumphed o'er disease and death,o'er darkness and the grave.To Thee they went, the blind, the dumb,the palsied and the lame,The leper with his tainted life,the sick with fevered frame.
- 2And lo! Thy touch brought life and health,gave speech, and strength and sight;And youth renewed and fear relievedowned Thee, the Lord of light;And now, O Lord, be near to bless,Almighty as of yore,In crowded street, by restless couch,as by Gennesaret's shore.
- 3Be Thou our great Deliverer still,Thou Lord of life and death;Restore and quicken, soothe and bless,with Thine almighty breath.To hands that work and eyes that see,give wisdom's heavenly lore,That whole and sick, and weak and strong,may praise Thee evermore.
