Jesus, we hear thine actions speak
That Thou art He, by God decreed
To cast out fiends, to heal the sick,
Restore the blind, and raise the dead:
Thy language plain we understand,
Perceive with joyful hearts and eyes
The works of an Almighty Hand,
And greet our Saviour from the skies.
Jesus, we hear thine actions speak
