1 From miles around the sick ones came, In hope that One they heard was Lord would make their souls and bodies well, with healing touch or saving word.
2 And still they come, new preys of plague, while often in their rooms of prayer God’s people worship, safe and sound, unheeding, even unaware.
3 Recall us to our mission, Lord, to reach for those cut off, in pain; to offer friendship, strength, and peace and be a faithful church again.
