7 While they have ga.in d we losers are, We miss them day by day : But thou canst every breach repair, And wipe our tears away.

8 We pray, as in Elisha s case, When great Elijah went May double portions of thy grace To us who stay be sent.

1 His master taken from his head, Elisha saw him go ; And in desponding accents said &quot;Ah, what must Isr el do ?&quot;

2 But he forgot the Lord who lifts The beggar to the throne ; Nor knew that all Elijah s gifts Will soon be made his own.

3 What, when a Paul has run his course, Or when Apollos dies, Is Isr el left without resource ? And have we no supplies ?

4 Yes, while the dear Redeemer lives, We have a boundless store, And shall be fed with what he gives, Who lives for evermore.
