Luke 8 v.41-42 & v.49-56

*********

Pain and anguish, Jairus approached

Jesus, he was not reproached

Besought Him for his daughter ill

To heal her and his fears still

 

For his only daughter she lay

Dying, twelve years was her day* (*age)

Lord, come help before it too late

Patiently we for you wait

 

Later Jesus, He did there meet

Jairus\' friends who did him greet

With sad news, his daughter had died

What more now can be applied?

 

But Jesus to Jairus did say

Fear not, believe, this the way

And your daughter shall be made whole

Though death seems her life has stole

 

Jesus. Peter, James, and John they

With the girl\'s parents did pray

At the bedside, Christ said, Weep not

This shall turn to happy lot

 

In compassion He touched her hand

Said, Maid, arise, broke death\'s band

And her spirit did come again

She did rise from her bed then

 

All astonished, wonder and awe

Parents saved from troubles sore

Lord have mercy, inspire us so

To believe, and in faith grow
