[What but Omnipotence can raise]
They were astonished with a great astonishment.
—v. 42.
What but Omnipotence can raise
The dead in trespasses and sins?
Jesus the infidels amaze,
The world by miracles convince,
Thy people call out of their tomb,
And prove, Eternal Life is come.

Who now Thy living church admire
O may they all our blessings share,
And while Thou dost their souls inspire,
The quickening power of faith declare,
The world's astonishment increase
By a new life of righteousness.
