The Healing Truth

MARGARET OSBORN

When, by the still, blue Galilean Sea,
Jesus held converse with his chosen few,
Instructing them what God would have them do,
That from all wrong the world might be set free,
How tenderly he spoke! His loving word
Fell like a benediction on all ears:
O little flock, give up your haunting fears,
It is your Father's will that ye have heard;
Come ye that labor—such the words he said
To all his followers, making burdens light.
The lepers shall be cleansed, the hungry fed;
The deaf shall hear and blinded eyes have sight—
He spoke these things in Israel's needful hour,
And proved them true by Spirit's matchless power.
