Tune: St Leonard's
('May the mind of Christ my Saviour')
Matthew 8 v.8-13
********
Speak the word only, one did say
Unto Jesus there one day
And my servant shall be healed when
You say the word then
He a centurion, person
Under authority, man
And had soldiers under him, they
Did as he did say
Whether 'Go', they go, or 'Come', they
Come, each do serve and obey
Or 'Do this', then true his servant
Does with no relent
Jesus marvelled, said, I have not
Found so great faith midst this lot
Of Israel, but faith here shown
So healing be known
Go your way, as you have believed
Jesus said, so be received
Healing, same hour it occurred
Wholeness there conferred
