The recovered Daemoniack, an Emblem of a converted Sinner. Luke viii. 35
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Jesus, we own thy saving Pow'r, And thy victorious Hand; Hell's Legions tremble at thy Feet, And fly at thy Command.
O'er Souls, by Passions Uproar fill'd With Anarchy unknown, The nob'er Pow'rs, restor'd by Thee, Ascend their peaceful Throne.
No more they rend their Clothing off; No more their Wounds repeat; But gentle and compos'd they wait Attentive at thy Feet.
O'er Thousands more, where Satan rules, May we such Triumphs see; And be their rescu'd Souls and ours Devoted, LORD, to Thee.
