[All glory to God]

When the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, &c. —ix. 8.

All glory to God
Whose love hath bestow'd
Such virtue on men,
On Jesus in human similitude seen!
His goodness and power
The simple adore,
If the learned repine,
We are glad to acknowledge the Finger Divine.
Thou Jesus alone
The wonder hast done,
By Thy nature reveal'd,
Our nature's extreme inability heal'd;

222

Thy life-giving grace
Appears in our days,
And the impotent soul
Through the word of Thy power is made perfectly whole.
