42. BETHESDA, THE HOUSE OF GRACE

Previous
Next

​Author:  Unknown
​Composer:  Henri Abraham César Malan (1787-1864)​

​1. Within that wondrous pool
    Whose waves were agitated
    Whene’er the angel’s pow’r
    Unseen its depth pervaded;
    There every woe and pain
    Could find a speedy cure
    For him who first did gain
    Its waters deep and pure.
 
2. In those five porches there
    Great multitudes were gathered;
    Blind, lame, deaf, rheumatic,
    With palsy struck and withered,
    Consumptive weak, infirm,
    The leprous, crippled, poor,
    Whoever was distressed
    Was brought unto its door.
 
3. Likewise, ye sinners, come;
    Be healed of your transgression!
    O come both great and small,
    Here you will find remission,
    Salvation help and grace.
    Here is the cleansing flood.
    Each sinful stain efface,
    Immersed in Jesus’ blood.
 
4. But hasten; tarry not
    Lest you should be forsaken!
    If you would find the cure,
    From sinful sleep awaken!
    The Lord has conquered death,
    And with His mighty hand
    He’ll wash you from your sin,
    With Him in grace to stand.
 
5. As man before his fall
    Are we restored through Jesus;
    Though many members called,
    By One God’s grace increases.
    True faith will make you whole
    If you His Word embrace,
    Pure, holy, without sin,
    Endowed with Jesus’ grace.
 
6. As witness of God’s love
    The Spirit then descendeth;
    As unction hallows all
    Whom Christ as His commandeth.
    But they who have this grace
    And then to sin revert
    Shall double strips receive,
    To their eternal hurt.
 
7. We bring our prayer to Thee;
    O Lord, in mercy hear it!
    And now impart to them
    Rich measure of Thy Spirit
    Who now have entered in
    The household of Thy grace;
    Keep them from Satan’s yoke,
    Grant them in Heav’n a place.

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
