Almighty Father, great must be
1 Almighty Father, great must be
your power from all eternity;
how great your love in Christ made known
to those by suffering weighed down.
2 Christ healed the sick, the deaf, the blind,
brought reason to the splintered mind.
He gave the peace of heaven to men
and set them on their feet again.
3 Yet may these things for us be so,
with Galilee those years ago?
Is life and all its fullness still
for us the heavenly Father's will?
4 Indeed! the Christ who wrought such things
is Lord of Lords and King of Kings:
today as yesterday the same
to those who gather in his name.
5 Through laying on of hands and prayer
the sick may in Christ's wholeness share,
and others, nursed to health again,
renew their strength and lose their pain.
6 Almighty Father, let us see
in Christ man has the victory!
Help us to find, in life and death,
your everlasting arms beneath.
