A Fount of mercy, Lord, Thou art

ἐλέους πηγὴ, ὑπάρχων Ὑπεράγαθε.

I A Fount of mercy, Lord, Thou art, Perennial and Divine; The source of every lasting good, And every is Thine; Now to the suffering healing give, And touch the sick that he may live.

II O Saviour, Thou alone art God, And Thou art quick to heal; For Thou didst wear our feeble flesh, And all our ailments feel; And Thou canst make the sufferer whole, And save the sin afflicted soul.

III O Christ, the Great Physician Thou, Tender and full of power; Now with the oil of grace anoint The sufferer at this hour;— Bid Thou the pain and weakness cease, And give the sore afflicted peace.
