Tune: Serenity
(\'Immortal love, for ever full\')
Luke 10 v.1-9 parts
**********
Medicine of the gospel true
Did Luke show, works did do
Healing for body, spirit, soul
In Christ all be made whole
Commissioned by Him they went forth
To east, south, west, and north
Part of their mission was to heal
Working for mankind\'s weal (well-being)
To heal the sick, to them proclaim
The gracious Saviour\'s name
And say \'The kingdom of God is
Come to you, e\'en in this\'
For this a sign, healing meets needs
May plant in faith fresh seeds
And too resources natural
We use, do on them call
Come search us, show to us your plan
Where seems no healing can
Progress, for sometimes mystery
Surrounds healing, so be
Yet your will often is to heal
To show compassion still
As on earth you did restore men
Though did not finish then
For ministry continues now
Your Spirit\'s gifts, \'tis how
You by your grace renew, restore
That you kingdom come more
\'Peace to this house\' was their intent
They shared it, no relent
Grant healing peace, each town, each land
All \'neath your loving hand
