Religion
Mark 1:31: Happy the sin-sick soul to whom
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Happy the sin-sick soul to whom
Jesus doth in pity come.
Physician from the skies!
He touches by His sovereign grace.
Commands the fever to give place.
And bids the patient rise.
He rises glad to tend his Lord,
Renders back his strength restored,
And labours to approve
His faithful gratitude sincere.
By serving all who serve or fear
The God of pardoning love.
