[Even in the most degenerate days]

Yet have I left Me seven thousand in Israel. —xix. 18.

Even in the most degenerate days
Some witnesses reserved shall be,
Some vessels of peculiar grace,
Conceal'd from man, but known to Thee;
Thou only canst their number tell:
O may they prosperously go on,
Till thousands into millions swell,
And all mankind in Christ are one.
