[The word of Christ alone]
Then saith He to the man, Stretch forth thine, &c.
—xii. 13.
The word of Christ alone
New life and vigour gives
Who first our helplessness makes known,
And then our souls relieves:
Like wither'd hands they are,
Yet strength if He ordain,
We stretch them forth to God by prayer,
By alms and helps to man.
