| Lord’s Day 4, 2009 |
I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. (Psalme 122:1 Geneva Bible)
HYMN XIV
JEHOVAH–ROPHI, I am the Lord that healeth thee. Ex. xv.
by William Cowper (1731–1800)

HEAL us, Emmanuel, here we are,
Waiting to feel thy touch;
Deep wounded souls to thee repair,
And, Savior we are such.
Our faith is feeble we confess,
We faintly trust thy word;
But wilt thou pity us the less?
Be that far from thee, Lord!
Remember him who once apply’d
With trembling for relief;
“Lord, I believe, with tears he cry’d,
help my unbelief.”
She too, who touch’d thee in the press,
And healing virtue stole;
Was answer’d, “Daughter, go in peace,
Thy faith hath made thee whole.”
Conceal’d amid the gath’ring throng,
She would have shunn’d thy view;
And if her faith was firm and strong,
Had strong misgivings too.
Like her, with hopes and fears, we come,
To touch thee if we may;
O! send us not despairing home,
Send none unheal’d away.
—from Olney Hymns. Book I: On select Passages of Scripture.
Psalme 119:25–32
(Geneva Bible)
Daleth.
26 I haue declared my waies, and thou heardest me: teache me thy statutes.
27 Make me to vnderstand ye way of thy precepts, and I will meditate in thy wondrous workes.
28 My soule melteth for heauinesse: raise mee vp according vnto thy worde.
29 Take from mee the way of lying, and graunt me graciously thy Lawe.
30 I haue chosen the way of trueth, and thy iudgements haue I laied before me.
31 I haue cleaued to thy testimonies, O Lord: confound me not.
32 I will runne the way of thy commandements, when thou shalt enlarge mine heart.
Grace be with you, and Peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
