[In suffering saints when Jesus cries]

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, &c. —xvi. 26.

In suffering saints when Jesus cries
The prayer by mighty signs is seal'd;

320

It brings deliverance from the skies,
It shows Jehovah's arm reveal'd,
The earth from its foundations shakes,
And sinners dead in sin awakes.
Nor earth nor hell its power withstands,
Open it throws the prison doors,
It looses every captive's bands
Their souls to liberty restores,
While all confess the pardoning God,
And feel redemption in His blood.
