54. [Jesus, Thee Thy works proclaim]

Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching, &c. —iv. 23.

Jesus, Thee Thy works proclaim
Omnipotently good;
Moses Thy forerunner came,
And mighty works he show'd:
Minister of wrath Divine,
His wonders plagued the sinful race:
Works of purest love are Thine,
And miracles of grace.

All Thy cures are mysteries,
And prove Thy power to heal
Every sickness and disease
Which now our spirits feel:
Good Physician of mankind,
Thou wilt repeat Thy sovereign word,
Chase the evils of our mind,
And speak our souls restored.

Who of other help despair,
And would Thy word receive,
Us Thou makest Thy tenderest care,
And kindly dost relieve:
Every soul-infirmity,
And plague of heart, Thou dost remove;
Heal'st whoe'er apply to Thee,
With balm of bleeding love.

Still Thou go'st about to teach,
And desperate souls to cure;

161

Still Thou dost the kingdom preach
Which always shall endure;
Publishest the power of grace,
Which pardon and perfection brings,
Saves our fallen dying race,
And lifts us into kings.
