GHS 103 : He Healed Them All Lyrics
GHS 103, “He Healed Them All,” is a hymn that looks back at the healing ministry of Jesus in the Gospels and asks why the same expectation is not carried into the present. The hymn notes that when people came to Christ in those days, whoever came and whatever their affliction, they found a sovereign remedy. The only requirement was simple faith. The hymn then turns to the Church with a searching question: has the Lord changed, or has our faith grown cold?
Rather than leaving believers in discouragement, the hymn closes as a call to renewed boldness in prayer, urging the Church to bring the sick before God with the same confidence that marked those who pressed through crowds to touch the hem of His garment. This hymn appears as number 103 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 103: He Healed Them All
-
He healed them all — the blind, the lame, the palsied, The sick in body and the weak in mind, Whoever came, no matter how afflicted, Were sure a sovereign remedy to find.
-
His word gave health, His touch restored the vigour, To every weary pain-exhausted frame; And all He asked before He gave the blessing Was simple faith in Him from those who came.
-
And is our Lord, the kind, the good, the tender, Less loving now than in those days of old? Or is it that our faith is growing feeble, And Christian energy is waxing cold?
-
Why do we not with equal expectation, Now bring our sick ones to the Lord in prayer Right through the throng of unbelieving scruples Up to His very side and leave them there?
-
He never health refused in bygone ages, Nor feared to take the “chastisement” away; Then why not ask it now, instead of praying For “patience” to endure from day to day?
