The mighty deeds in Jesus’ name

Verse 1
The mighty deeds in Jesus’ name
By his eternal Father done,
Jesus himself perform’d the same,
By power immediately his own;
And all his works are done by him
In unity with God supreme.

Verse 2
The virtue to his servants given
From him its only fountain flow’d:
They by the power of Christ in heaven
On earth stupendous wonders show’d,
But told who wrought the miracles,
‘Jesus, the Christ, thy body heals.'[1]

Verse 3
Jesus, the mightier works of grace
Which still we do in thy great name,
For these we render thee the praise,
Their heavenly author’s power proclaim,
And cry to each recover’d soul,
‘’Tis Christ himself that makes thee whole.’

[1] Wesley added the footnote: “Acts ix. 34.”
