[But lo, the Lord for ever lives]

Elisha died, and they buried him. —xiii. 20.

But lo, the Lord for ever lives,
And freely still His Spirit gives,
Who never ties to one His grace,
Can other faithful prophets raise:
He doth His labourers remove,
Yet carries on His work of love,
By whom He will delights to send,
And bless His church, till time shall end.
