Our Saviour’s Power-filled Wondrous Walk on Earth

Jesus! Your wonders so astonish and amaze me
that, muter than the mute before you gave him speech,
I am in doubt: Where to begin to praise your works?
Led by your hands, the miracles multiply.
I see great marvels on display wherever I turn,
hear what has not been heard before: the dead are raised;
the blind are given sight and soul's delight;
the deaf also can hear, to the glory of God.
The lame ones run like deer, led by their Mover, 
and leprosy is banished by your cleansing power.
There's not a single thing you cannot overcome.
You govern all; all must obey and serve you.
And yet you give your heart to us so gently,
revealing the great goodness that is yours alone.
