[While a weak worm pass'd by]
That...the shadow of Peter passing by might.
—v. 15.
While a weak worm pass'd by
Could Peter's shadow heal?
The Lord omnipotent was nigh,
And did Himself reveal;
He made their bodies whole,
Substance of God supreme:
And still for each distemper'd soul
The power proceeds from Him.

O that Thy Spirit of love
Might now o'ershadow me,
My plague of unbelief remove,
My nature's malady!
O might my last distress
Attract Thy pitying eye!
Heal my incurable disease,
Or see Thy patient die.
