Verse 1
He spake, and Jesus’ word alone
Effects the double miracle,
The distant body of the son,
The father’s heart a word can heal:
Credence to God the father gives,
Heal’d of his incredulity
His son restor’d to health believes,
Believes the cure he doth not see.
Verse 2
This is the miracle I need,
Saviour of souls, for this I pray,
Let virtue out of Thee proceed,
And take the plague of sin away:
The fever of fierce passion chide,
Command it, Jesus, to depart,
The fever of desire and pride,
And cure my unbelieving heart.
