Were seen the gathered multitude.

2 Bethesda’s pool has lost its power!

No angel, by his glad descent

Dispenses that diviner dower

Which with its healing waters went;

But he, whose word surpassed its wave,

Is still omnipotent to save.

3 Saviour! thy love is still the same

As when that healing word was spoke;

Still in thine all-redeeming name
