Ezekiel 37:3, 4: And He said unto me, Son of man, &c

Can these dry bones perceive
The quickening power of grace,
Or Christian infidels retrieve
The life of righteousness?
All-good, almighty Lord,
Thou know'st Thine own design,
The virtue of Thine own great word,
The energy Divine.

Now for Thy mercy's sake
Let Thy great word proceed.
Dispensed by whom Thou wilt, to wake
The spiritually dead;
Send forth to prophesy
Thy chosen messenger.
And Thou the gospel-word apply,
And force the world to hear.
