[He went, and touch'd Elisha's bones]

When the man was let down [Heb. went,] &c. —xiii. 21.

He went, and touch'd Elisha's bones
To show, how Adam's fallen sons
May yet the life Divine retrieve:
Drawn by His grace we all may go,
May all our God and Saviour know,
And feel the power of Christ, and live.

By faith and hope I now draw nigh,
With Jesus dead and buried I
His resurrection's virtue prove;
I magnify my glorious Lord,
By one continued touch restored
To all the life of heavenly love.
