John 11:6: He waits; to manifest His grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
He waits; to manifest His grace,
To help His dying friend, delays,
The sickness lingers to remove.
But not through want of power or love.
Thus our Physician from the sky
Lets a beloved patient die,
And then exerts His power to save
And lifts the sinner from the grave.
