Hymn of Thanks for Healers

O Divine Source of wisdom bright,
Who kindled minds with healing light;
We lift our hearts in grateful praise,
For healers’ works through all our days.

For every physician, wise and true,
Whose caring hands our strength renew;
For every chemist, keen of sight,
Who laboured long by day and night.

For those who searched through nature’s store,
In root and leaf, on distant shore;
Who drew from earth its hidden grace,
To soothe the pain of suffering’s face.

For nurses gentle, watchful, near,
Whose quiet presence calms our fear;
Whose tender care and patient art,
Bring balm and hope to mind and heart.

For all who answered to the call,
To serve the weak, to tend to all;
Who gave their lives in steadfast quest,
To bring to suffering relief and rest.

Bless every mind that sought to find,
Relief for body, soul, and mind;
For all whose skill, refined through years,
Has wiped away each patient’s tears.

Through trial and effort, success and gain,
They strove to lessen human pain;
With courage firm and vision clear,
They pressed on for many a year.

O Giver of each healing gift,
Our hearts in thanks to You we lift;
For through these souls Your Mercy flows,
In their work Your Goodness shows.

May all their labours, great and small,
Be crowned with blessing over all;
May all their service ever be,
Great sign of Your deep Charity.
