Thou, Lord, Hast Power to Heal

Thou

Lord

hast pow­er to heal

And Thou wilt quick­ly aid

For Thou dost deep­ly feel

The stripes up­on us laid:

Thou who wast wound­ed by the rod

Uplifted in the hand of God.

Send speedy help

we pray

To him who ail­ing lies

That from his couch he may

With thank­ful heart arise;

Through pray­ers which all avail­ing find

Thine ear

O Lov­er of man­kind.

O blind­ed are our eyes

And all are held in night;

But like the blind who cries

We cry to Thee for light;

In pe­ni­tence

O Christ

we pray

Give us the ra­di­ant light of day.
