202 Like him, by Jesus sent I ll try, For he can cause the dead to hear.

5 Hear, ye dry bones, the Saviour s word, He who when dying gasp d &quot; Forgive,&quot; That gracious sinner-loving Lord Says &quot; Look to me, dry bones, and live.&quot;

6 Thou heav nly wind, awake and blow, In answer to the prayer of faith. Now thine almighty iiifl ence show. And fill dry bones with living breath.

7 make them hear and feel and shake, And at thy call obedient move. The bonds of death and Satan break, And bone to bone unite in love.

1 WHEN Moses waved his mystic rod, What wonders follow d while he spoke ! Firm as a wall the waters stood, Or gush d in rivers from the rock.

2 At his command the thunders roll d ; Lightning and hail his voice obey d ; And Pharaoh trembled to behold His land in desolation laid.

3 But what could Moses rod have done Had he not been divinely sent ? The power was from the Lord alone. And Moses but the instrument.

4 Lord, regard thy people s pray rs ! Assist a worm to preach aright ; And since thy gospel-rod lie bears, Display thy wonders in our sight.

5 Proclaim the thunders of thy law, Like lightning let thine arrows fly, That careless sinners, struck with awe, For refuge may to Jesus fly.
