[He spake, and Jesus' word alone]

Jesus saith, . . . Go thy way; thy son liveth, &c. —iv. 50.

He spake, and Jesus' word alone
Effects the double miracle,

363

The distant body of the son,
The father's heart, a word can heal;
Credence to God the father gives
Heal'd of his incredulity,
His son restored to health believes,
Believes the cure he doth not see.
