and doubts be heard no more: Let Christ and joy be all our theme; His spirit seals his gospel sure, To every soul that trusts his name.

Jesus, thy witness speaks within; The mercy which thy words reveal, Refines the heart from sense and sin, And stamps its own celestial seal.

'Tis God's inimitable hand, That moulds and forms the heart anew; Blasphemers can no more withstand, But bow and own thy doctrine true.

The guilty wretch that trust thy blood, Finds peace and pardon at the cross; The sinful soul averse to God, Believes and loves his Maker's laws.

Learning and wit may cease their strife, When miracles with glory shine; The voice that calls the dead to life, Must be almighty and divine.
