Matthew 14:36: Lord, I believe Thy power the same
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Lord, I believe Thy power the same.
The same Thy truth and grace endure,
And in Thy blessed hands I am.
And trust Thee for a perfect cure:
Come, Saviour, come, and make me whole.
Who only canst my sins remove,
To perfect health restore my soul,
To perfect holiness and love.

I If only with our lips we pray,
And want the grace within.
Our pious pains we cast away.
Our prayer is turn'd to sin:
Religion pure and undefiled
Unites the heart to (iod,
A God in Jesus reconciled,
Who bought us with His blood.
The power of vital piety
To me, O God, impart.
So shall I gladly render Thee
The worship of the heart:
And when to Thee alone I cleave
With smiles Thou wilt approve
And kindly through Thy Son receive
The homage of my love.
