William Cowper (Уильям Купер)

Olney Hymn 31. On the Death of a Minister

    His master taken from his head,
        Elisha saw him go; 
    And in desponding accents said,
        "Ah, what must Israel do?"

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

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

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