1 But it is true, no medicin's found Which, Lord, can do us good, So as to make us whole and sound, But our Physician's Blood;
2 And therefore thou didst pour it forth; Thy precious blood was shed, That we might it apply by Faith, And also be cured.
3 For all our hearts, Lord, naturally So hard and stony are, Till softened with thy blood, we see They can't thy Image bear.
3 For all our hearts, Lord, naturally So hard and stony are, Till softned with thy blood, we see They can't thy Image bear.
4 Nought will dissolve the Adamant And flinty heart we know, But precious blood which from thy wounds Most plenteously did flow.
