1 O God, whose will is life and good For all of mortal breath: Unite in bonds of servanthood All those who strive with death. 2 Make strong their hands and hearts and wills To drive disease afar, To strive against the body’s ills And wage Your healing war. 3 By healing of the sick and blind, Christ’s mercy they proclaim, Make known the great physician’s mind, Affirm the Savior’s name. 4 Before them set Your gracious will, That they, with heart and soul, To You may consecrate their skill And make the sufferer whole.
