Ezekiel 37:1, 2: Caught by the' almighty Hand
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Caught by the' almighty Hand,
That Spirit of the Lord,
Carried beyond myself I stand,
A witness of His word;
I see the book unseal'd.
Least of the prophets' sons,
I mark EzekicPs valley fill'd
With visionary bones!
Many they are and dry,
Spread through the open vale,
Millions of lifeless souls they lie
Within the Christian pale:
I pass the churches through,
The scatter'd bones I see,
And CJiristcndom appears in view
An hideous Calvary.
