Tune: St Peter
('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')
Psalm 41 v.1-3
********
Blessed they that help the powerless
And the poor in distress
The Lord will save them in their own
Troubles, they to Him known
Show some compassion, some good deed
To the afflicted heed
And the Lord will keep and preserve
They who the needy serve
The Lord will strengthen them when they
Encounter troubled days
If in their sick bed, He will heal
Them, work for their good weal* (*well-being)
Come to us, Lord, revive, restore
In you is healing, cure
Raise us if in sickness, then lo
We restortaion know

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. Some personal thoughts, as we have some difficulties and struggles here, mainly health-wise, rather like 'the sick helping the sick. Hold on to this promise, though in caring we can become frustrated, annoyed, etc, at times, if a continual burden. Some sickness is acute (short and not lasting), and some is acute (long and drawn-out).

Thanks SB.
sadly there are not enough people around who are prepared to offer help to those less fortunate without taking a selfie doing it or videoing it in the hope they might be offered a part in some pathetic so called reality show ..
Thanks N.
