Tune: St Peter
(\'How sweet the name of Jesus sounds\')
Matthew 8 v.14-17
*************
Jesus to Peter\'s house did come
Entered into his home
Saw his wife\'s mother, fever-bound
Laying in bed there found
He touched her hand, rebuked fever

And she arose and did them serve
From service did not swerve
When evening was come, then they brought
Many to Him, they sought
Him for those who were afflicted
By devils, they not hid
And too other sick folk, and He
Did heal them all, so be
And so Isaiah\'s prophecy

The prophecy, He Himself took
Our infirmities, look
And bare our sicknesses, that we
Through Him might healed, whole be
