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.
