3 " God ! if I thy servant am,
If tis thy message fills my heart,
Now glorify thy holy name,
And show this people who thou art."
4 He spake, and lo a sudden flame
Consumed the wood, the dust, the stone.
The people struck, at once proclaim
" The Lord is God, the Lord alone."
5 Like him we mourn an awful day,
When more for Baal than God appear.
Like him, believers, let us pray,
And may the God of Israel hear.
6 Lord, if thy servant speak thy truth,
If he indeed is sent by thee,
Confirm the word to all our youth,
And let them thy salvation see.
7 Now may the Spirit s holy fire
Pierce every heart that hears thy word,
Consume each hurtful vain desire,
And make them know thou art the Lord !

Preaching to the Dry Bones.—Ezek. xxxvii.
1 PREACHERS may from Ezekiel s case
Draw hope in this declining day.
A proof like this of sovereign grace
Should chase our unbelief away.
2 When sent to preach to mouldering bones,
Who could have thought he would succeed ?
But well he knew the Lord from stones 3
Could raise up Abr am s chosen seed.
3 Can these be made a num rous host,
And such dry bones new life receive ?
The prophet answer d " Lord, thou know st
They shall, if thou commandment give."
4 Like him- around I cast my eye,
And oh ! what heaps of bones appear ;
