[To' elude His wonders and suppress]

They conferred among themselves. —iv. 15.

To' elude His wonders and suppress,
To' o'erthrow His merciful design,
Who now revives His work of grace,
The world in fruitless counsel join;
Their counsel vain shall never stand,
Or shorten an Almighty hand.
Jehovah sends by whom He will,
His grace in season due bestows:
Who now the chair of Moses fill,
Confederate with your Saviour's foes,
Ye cannot stop the growing word,
Or bind that Spirit of the Lord.
