Eternal Son of GOD most high, whose only voice

Verse 1
Eternal Son of GOD most high,
Whose only voice can wake the dead
Speak to the souls, for whom we cry,
For whom we in thy Spirit plead,
And bring them up from Nature’s grave
And now stretch out thine arm to save.

Verse 2
The dead in trespasses convince,
And turn from Satan’s power to GOD,
Reveal thy wrath against their sins,
Orewhelm them with the mountain-load,
Till all that load of guilt and fear
Rolls off—into thy sepulchre.
