Lyrics

Unto the Lord a le­per came,
Desiring to be healed,
And on his knees be­fore Him fell;
For cleans­ing there ap­pealed.

Refrain

He can heal thee, He will heal thee,
If you wilt be­lieve;
Trust Him ful­ly, trust Him ful­ly;
Cleansing now re­ceive.

The ten­der heart of Je­sus ne’er
Refused so strong ap­peal,
And there the le­per was made whole,
Where hum­bly he did kneel.

Refrain

The touch di­vine his cleans­ing wrought;
Physicians all had failed;
But Je­sus, the Phy­si­cian Great,
For him has now availed.

Refrain

Come to the Lord for heal­ing now,
None oth­er can avail;
Call on Him here for cleans­ing pow­er;
Your pray­er will sure pre­vail.
