Hymns - When to Our World the Savior Came - Текст песни

When to our world the Savior came
the sick and helpless heard his name,
and in their weakness longed to see
the healing Christ of Galilee.

That good Physician! Night and day
the people thronged about his way;
and wonder ran from soul to soul,
"The touch of Christ has made us whole!"

His praises then were heard and sung
by opened ears and loosened tongue,
while lightened eyes could see and know
the healing Christ of long ago.

Of long ago: yet living still,
who died for us on Calvary's hill;
who triumphed over cross and grave,
his healing hands stretched forth to save.

His sovereign purpose still remains
who rose in power, and lives and reigns;
till every tongue confess his praise,
the healing Christ of all our days.
