John 4:4: Five thousand added in a day

Five thousand added in a day,
Born by the Spirit from above,
The energy of grace display,
The strength of their Redeemer's In
The welcome truth they all receive,
Joyful to know their sins forgiven;
Five thousand souls 'at once believe,
And banquet on the bread from heaven.

The word is crown'd with more success,
Because the preacher suffers more,
While God doth by the flock's increase
Augment His patient servants' power;
His servants' constancy and zeal
Confirm the followers of their Lord,
And all conspire to work His will,
And spread through earth His pardoning word.
