Dead souls I will anew create

Verse 1
Dead souls I will anew create,
To make my truth and mercy known,
Restore them to their first estate,
And perfect all my saints in one;
That sinners may my love confess,
My favour and lost image find,
Convinced, I sent my Son to bless,
And save the whole apostate kind.

Verse 2
Sinners my witnesses shall see
Produc’d by a celestial birth,
And own, the ancient piety
The gracious work reviv’d on earth;
And while their willing hearts receive
The proofs of my transforming power,
The world shall all at once believe,
And every soul my Son adore.
