JESUS, descended from the sky, The power of God in man thou art; Thyself, to whom I now apply, Speak thy own words into my heart: Thy words are more than empty sound, Inseparably one with thee; Spirit in them, and life is found, And all the depths of Deity.

While, feebly gasping at thy feet, A sinner in my sins I bow, O might I now my Saviour meet, And hear and feel thy sayings now! Speak, and thy word the dead shall raise, Shall me with spirit and life inspire; Speak on, and fill my soul with grace, And add me to thy deathless choir.
