"Greater miracles than these
Shall My disciples do;"
Lord, we at Thy feet confess
The prophecy is true:
Yet Thine only power we own
Who didst by Paul the fiends expel,
Virtue flows from Thee alone,
Body and soul to heal.

Still the promise is fulfill'd
To them that trust in Thee,
Thine almighty arm reveal'd
With awe we daily see;
Outward signs but shadows were
Of greater miracles within,
Fiends expell'd the soul by prayer,
And sinners saved from sin.
