2 Kings 13:20: But lo, the Lord for ever lives

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

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.
