There is a healing branch that grows

E753
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."

Some of the words have been changed according to my hymn book but melody is the same.

Line 1 of Stanza 3 has 1 too many syllables. You have to sing it as:

There is an ord'nance that has stood

or

There is an ordinance that's stood
