By Peter's house

1.
By Peter's house in village fair,
you met the sick and healed them there.
Down crowded path the woman trod
to touch the robe of the Son of God.

            Refrain:
                    O Jesus of the healing hem and hand and heart, heal us as them!

2.
On quiet pool your shadow fell
to bless, to heal, to make folk well.  
On mountain or where waves washed wide,
the throngs found wholeness at your side........(Refrain)

3.
In synagogue, by temple wall,
the blind found sight, the lame stood tall.
"Your faith has healed," you said, and then
the faint grew strong, deaf heard again...........(Refrain)

4.
You met their need.  O, hear our call
from bed and chair, in room and hall.
O, give to us the faith they knew,
the strength to trust, to come to you!..............(Refrain)
