But what a surging crowd I see, Fair synagogue, flocking to thee! What meaneth it? Why this—He who Spake with a power man never knew, Was there to hear and read the law. As was his wont in home before. Now, in my vision, 1 behold There man with unclean spirit bold, Amid the astonished multitude,With friglitful crying to intrude : Let us alone! for what have we, Jesus of Nazareth, to do with thee? Hast thou come to destroy us ? No ! Thou art Gods Holy One we know ! At Christs command, Be still ! come forth ! The unclean spirit ceased its wrath, And left the man it had possessed, •Though rent and torn, and sadly pressed.
