Verse 1
O Christ the Healer we have come
To pray for health to plead for friends
How can we fail to be restored
When reached by love that never ends
Verse 2
From every ailment flesh endures
Our bodies clamour to be freed
Yet in our hearts we would confess
That wholeness is our deepest need
Verse 3
How strong O Christ are our desires
How weak our knowledge of ourselves
Release in us those healing truths
Unconscious pride resists or shelves
Verse 4
In conflicts that destroy our health
We recognize the world’s disease
Our common life declares our ills
Is there no cure O Christ for these
Verse 5
Grant that we all made one in faith
In Your community may find
The wholeness that enriching us
Shall reach the whole of humankind
