Saviour, Thou canst with

Saviour, thou canst with equal ease,
As when thou on our earth didst dwell,
The body’s and the soul’s disease
By virtue from the Godhead heal:
With perfect life inspire my soul:
And if I yet may serve my Lord,
Pronounce this languid body whole,
And bid me rise, to preach thy word.
