Restores the lost, and heals the spir­it brok­en,
And die with­out com­fort or rest.
Restores the lost, and binds the spir­it brok­en,
And bless each long­ing heart.
He will take them and will bless them,
Filthy le­pers cleansed in mer­cy,
If you can­not give your thou­sands,
He will re­gard His peo­ple’s cry—

So let the world pro­claim Je­sus’ birth.
It stills the sigh­ing or­phan’s moan,
Do jus­tice to the friend­less poor,
Good shall the an­swer be.
Think of those who’ve none,
On the Sea of Ga­li­lee,
Orphans no long­er fa­ther­less,
Freed from con­dem­na­tion:
He’s just the same Je­sus

wi­dow

A hus­band lies in death’s em­brace,
Who on­ly canst re­pair my loss,
Then, bro­ther man, fold to thy heart thy bro­ther,
And heal­ing in dear Ga­li­lee—
Follow with rev­er­ent steps the great ex­am­ple
Are blend­ed in these walls;
end
Praying on the lone­ly mount­ain,
And the least you do for Je­sus
The blood of those that slaugh­tered lie,
Elijah was sus­tained;
Whose hearts are bur­dened, turn un­to Heav’n,
It hal­lows ev­ery cross,
Then, though your guil­ty souls are stained
In hours of ago­ny.
Hungry and alone.
I have read how the poor
Bring near Thy great sal­va­tion,
See Eli­sha’s sta­tion!
The ve­ry same Je­sus.
