When man our days in death had lain,
Thou gavest him back his life again.
When woman did her sin deplore,
Thou whispered, “Go, and sin no more.”
When wicked Simon saw thy power
He strove to win thee with a dower;
Within his sinful heart he thought
Thy power with money could be bought;
Thou spurned his offer and made bold,
To bid him perish with his gold.
