[When the gospel of grace]

There came also a multitude out of the cities, &c. —v. 16.

When the gospel of grace
Is proclaim'd in our days
From all places around
What a multitude flock to the life-giving sound!
To the church they repair;
For Jesus is there
In His virtue to heal,
And ready His love in their hearts to reveal.
The desperate crowd
With infirmities bow'd,
Sick of every sin,
And vex'd with a legion of spirits unclean,

The Physician attend,
And His goodness commend,
Who His patients relieves
And a pardon to all the incurable gives.
