Luke 8:50: Fear not: believe only, and she shall, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Fed, and strengthen'd by the word
Our faith receives increase.
Stirs us up to seek the Lord,
To pray and never cease;
Prayer and faith the fight maintain,.;.
By no discouragement repell'd,
Till the victory we gain
To full redemption seal'd.
Wherefore should I doubt His power.
When Christ the word hath said?
Can He not to life restore
A soul though doubly dead.
Is the thing impossible?
The thing impossible shall be,
Christ with all His love shall dwell.
With all His heaven in me.
