Luke 7: And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Touch'd by Thine efficacious grace.
Raised from his sins to speak Thy praise.
And testify TJiy power.
Thou bidd'st him in Thy Spirit li 'e.
Dost to his joyful mother give.
Dost to Thy church restore.

Happy the soul who lives again
Redeem'd from sin and death and pain
That glorious church to see,
(That mother of us all above,)
Communion with the saints to prove
Through all eternity.
