whole. 373 ee arm, O Lorp, in days of old Was strong to heal and save: It triumphed o’er disease and death, O’er darkness and the grave; To Thee they went, the blind, the dumb, The palsied and the lame, The leper with his tainted life, The sick with fevered frame.

And lo, Thy touch brought life and health, Gave speech, and strength, and sight;

And youth renewed and frenzy calmed Owned Thee, the Lorp of Light;

And now, O Lorp, be near to bless Almighty as of yore,

In crowded street, by restless couch, As by Gennesareth’s shore.

Be Thou our great Deliverer still, Thou Lorn of life and death 5

Restore and quicken, seothe and bless With Thine almighty breath:

To hands that-work and eyes that see Give wisdom’s heavenly lore,

That whole and sick, and weak and stron May praise Thee evermore. Amen,

Gu Time of Cattle Plague, “ Thou, LORD, shak save both man and beast.”

874 At Creation groans and travails; Thou, O Gop, shalt hear its groan; For of man and all Creation Thou alike art Lorp alone.

Pity then Thy guiltless creatures, Who, not less, man’s sufferings share« For our sins it is they perish; Let them profit by our prayer, 7 2
