1. Of the sick who came to Jesus,
We are told He healed them all;
Not one word have we of failure,
When in faith on Him they’d call.
Chorus:
Then, dear brother, come to Jesus,
(The, dear brother, then, dear brother, come to Jesus),
With your body and your soul;
(With your body, with your body and your soul);
For He’s waiting now to heal you,
(For He’s waiting, yes, He’s waiting now to heal you),
Gladly now to make you whole.
(Gladly now to make you whole, to make you whole).
2. Will you trust this blessed Jesus,
Who did thus His love reveal?
He but waits for you to trust Him,
E’er He does your body heal.
3. In God’s holy word He teaches
That He always is the same,
So dear brother, sister, hasten!
This great blessing now to claim.
4. A respecter not of persons,
Is this Jesus whom we love;
Hence we know He’ll heal you, brother,
As before He went above.
5. Jesus bore our pain and sorrow,
With His stripes, too, we are healed;
And His word most plainly teaches,
That our work is but to yield.
6. Know we not our loving Savior,
Has for us a tender care,
He, as then, will gladly heal us,
All our burdens He will bear.
