The Healing Power of Jesus

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 8:16-17

Verse 1

Behold, the blind their sight receive! Behold, the dead awake and live! The dumb speak wonders, and the lame Leap like the hart, and bless His name.

Verse 2

Thus doth th'eternal Spirit own And seal the mission of the Son; The Father vindicates His cause, While He hangs bleeding on the cross.

Verse 3

He dies; the heavens in mourning stood; He rises, and appears a God. Behold the Lord ascending high, No more to bleed, no more to die.

Verse 4

Hence, and forever, from my heart I bid my doubts and fears depart; And to those hands my soul resign, Which bear credentials so divine.
