John 9:6: Man made of earth by earth He heals

Man made of earth by earth He heals!
The creature is whate'er He wills
Who gave it first to be;
Clay in the' Almighty's hands restores
Our bodily or mental powers,
And gives the blind to see.

The weakest instrument Divine,
Water, or earth, or bread and wine,
Can work upon the soul:
Thou giv'st the means their saving use.
And then Thy virtue they transfuse.
And make the sinner whole.

Thy touch medicinal we prove
Our blindness it doth still remove.
The unction of Thy grace
Opens our faith's enlighten'd eyes,
And lo with rapturous surprise
We see Thy lovely face.
