1  There is a healing branch that grows

    Where every bitter Marah flows;

    This is our health-renewing tree.

    "I am the Lord that healeth thee."

 2  There is an old appointed way

    For those who hearken and obey;

    Above the gate these words we see:

    "I am the Lord that healeth thee."

 3  There is an ordinance that has stood

    Since Israel crossed the parted flood;

    It stands today for you and me —

    "I am the Lord that healeth thee."

 4  There is a great Physician still

    Whose hand has all its ancient skill;

    At His command our pains will flee —

    "I am the Lord that healeth thee."
