Can these dry bones perceive

Verse 1
Can these dry bones perceive (Ezek. 37:3-4)
The quick’ning power of grace,
Or Christian infidels retrieve
The life of righteousness?
All-good, Almighty Lord,
Thou know’st thine own design,
The virtue of thine own great word,
The energy divine.

Verse 2
Now for thy mercy’s sake
Let thy great word proceed,
Dispens’d by whom thou wilt, to wake
The spiritually dead; (Ezek. 37:4-10, John 5:25, Eph. 5:14)
Send forth to prophesy (Ezek. 37:9-10)
Thy chosen messenger, (Acts 9:15)
And thou the gospel-word apply,
And force the world to hear. (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Rom. 10:14-17)
