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 " Forgive,"
That gracious sinner-loving Lord
Says " Look to me, dry bones, and live."
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.

The Rod of Moses.
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.
