Luke 5:15: Went there a fame abroad of Hivi, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Our Saviour and God
Thou art publish'd abroad,
We have heard of Thy fame.
And allured by the sound of Thy wonderful name
With the crowd we draw near.
Thy wisdom to hear,
And in pardon reveal'd
To perceive all our sins and infirmities heal'd.
The gospel of grace
Thy Spirit conveys,
To the rapturous sound
AVe attend, and it heals our incurable wound;
The languishing soul
By a word is made whole.
And inspired from above
Through the hearing of faith we recover Thy lo e.
