INFLUENCE

Distressed and storm-tossed seamen found a berth,

And hungry found an answer to their dearth,

Under the influence of the Son of God

Rejected and a pilgrim on the earth.

The savage man sat calmly at His feet;

The stricken woman's healing was complete;

The girl was raised - and given food to eat -

Under the influence of the Son of God.

Under the influence of the Son of God

The eunuch went upon his happy way,

The Pharisee was brought from night to day,

And Gentiles yielded to the Spirit's sway.

God will secure Himself a universe

Under the influence of the Son of God

Where His enjoyed affections will immerse

His world, expelling all that is diverse.
