Thou Lord of Life, Our Saving Health

Samuel Longfellow· Modern

Highlight

Verse 1

Thou Lord of life, our saving Health,
Who mak’st Thy suffering ones our care,
Our gifts are still our truest wealth,
To serve Thee our sincerest prayer.

Verse 2

As on the river’s rising tide
Flow strength and coolness from the sea,
So through the ways our hands provide
May quickening life flow in from Thee.

Verse 3

To heal the wound, to still the pain,
And strength to failing pulses bring,
Till the lame feet shall leap again,
And the parched lips with gladness sing.

Verse 4

Bless Thou the gifts our hands have brought;
Bless Thou the work our hearts have planned;
Ours is the hope, the will, the thought;
The rest, O God, is in Thy hand.

Samuel Longfellow, “Thou Lord of Life, Our Saving Health”
