John 5: Angel, and Porch, and Pool Thou art
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Angel, and Porch, and Pool Thou art.
And when Thou dost Thy zeal exert,
And stir Thine own compassions up.
The lazar-soul that comes to Thee
Is heal'd of his infirmity.
Is made partaker of his hope.
Soon as Thy yearning bowels move,
Approaching in the time of love,
Whoe'er believes and enters in,
Though wither'd, impotent, and blind,
Is by the Healer of mankind
Saved, in a moment saved from sin.
