Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Pain

Giver of life, and strength renew'd,
I bless Thy balmy name,
Heal'd by the virtue of Thy blood
My Healer I proclaim.
Jesus, Thou canst with equal ease
Pronounce my sins forgiven,
And bid me rise, and go in peace,
And bear my cross to heaven.

Thrown, as an useless vessel, by,
A lump of pain I lay,
My Saviour cast a pitying eye,
And moved His saints to pray:
The prayer of faith hath chased the pain,
Put all my grief to flight,
And raised my feeble flesh again,
And clothed my soul with might.

I now with all my brethren join
To double health restored,
I glory in the strength Divine,
I glory in the Lord.
The strength Thou dost Thyself impart
I for Thyself employ,
And give Thee back a thankful heart
Which tastes Thy gifts with joy.

Take all my heart, my thanks, my love;
But O! my friends repay,
Who brought the blessing from above,
And save them at that day.
Ten thousand, thousand blessings shower
On my companions dear,
And keep them by Thy mercy's power,
Till Thou, our Life, appear.

Happy, might I obtain the grace
My happier friends to see,
Adorn'd with robes of righteousness,
And palms of victory!
Happy might I with them be found,
The meanest of the throng,
And sing, the glorious throne around,
Thine own eternal song!
