Upon His hands He did engrave me
With purest gold of loving grace.

HYMN: Your Hand, O Lord, in Days
of Old LSB 846
1 Your hand, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed over ills and death,
O’er darkness and the grave.
To You they came, the blind, the mute,
The palsied and the lame,
The lepers in their misery,
The sick with fevered frame.
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed over ills and death,
O’er darkness and the grave.
To You they came, the blind, the mute,
The palsied and the lame,
The lepers in their misery,
The sick with fevered frame.
2 Your touch then, Lord, brought life and
health,
Gave speech and strength and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Revealed You, Lord of light.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as before,
In crowded street, by beds of pain,
As by Gennes’ret’s shore.
Gave speech and strength and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Revealed You, Lord of light.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as before,
In crowded street, by beds of pain,
As by Gennes’ret’s shore.
3 O be our great deliv’rer still,
The Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
With Your life-giving breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom’s healing pow’r
That whole and sick and weak and strong
May praise You evermore.
The Lord of life and death;

READINGS
Reading 2 Samuel 24:15–25
So
the Lord sent a pestilence on Israel from the
morning until the appointed time. And there died of the people from Dan to
Beersheba 70,000 men. And when the angel stretched out his hand toward
Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from
the calamity and said to the angel who was working destruction among the
people, “It is enough; now stay your hand.” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the
angel who was striking the people, and said, “Behold, I have sinned, and I have
done wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand be
against me and against my father’s house.”
And
Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, raise an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
So David went up at Gad’s word, as the Lord
commanded. And when Araunah looked down, he saw the king and his servants
coming on toward him. And Araunah went out and paid homage to the king with his
face to the ground. And Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his
servant?” David said, “To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build
an altar to the Lord, that the plague may be
averted from the people.” Then Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king
take and offer up what seems good to him. Here are the oxen for the burnt
offering and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood. All this,
O king, Araunah gives to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “The Lord your God accept you.” But the king said to
Araunah, “No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt
offerings to the Lord my God that cost me
nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of
silver. And David built there an altar to the Lord
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord
responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was averted from Israel.
A O Lord, have mercy on us.
C Thanks
be to God.
Reading Romans 5:15–21
But
the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s
trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of
that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. And the free gift is not like the
result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought
condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought
justification. If, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that
one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free
gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
Therefore,
as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness
leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s
disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many
will be made righteous. Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where
sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death,
grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
A O Lord, have mercy on us.
C Thanks
be to God.
Reading Luke 4:38–41a
And
he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. Now Simon’s
mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they appealed to him on her
behalf. And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and
immediately she rose and began to serve them.
Now
when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various
diseases brought them to him, and he laid his hands on every one of them and
healed them. And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of
God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew
that he was the Christ.
A O Lord, have mercy on us.
C Thanks
be to God.
