7. Hippocratic OathMusic by Brent Lewis, Lyrics by Perry Crawford I swear by all the Gods and Goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfill according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant. I will apply measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice. If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot. They once swore an oath made to all of the Gods, They've taken the oath that Hippocrates wrote, Injustice and harm once prevented by rules The medicine practiced for healing the sick The License to ply in the medical trade Enjoy life and art all you doctors with heart; |
