Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI| His master taken from his head | A |
| Elisha saw him go | B |
| And in desponding accents said | A |
| Ah what must Israel do | C |
| - | |
| But he forgot the Lord who lifts | D |
| The beggar to the throne | E |
| Nor knew that all Elijah's gifts | D |
| Would soon be made his own | E |
| - | |
| What when a Paul has run his course | F |
| Or when Apollos dies | G |
| Is Israel left without resource | F |
| And have we no supplies | G |
| - | |
| Yes while the dear Redeemer lives | H |
| We have a boundless store | I |
| And shall be fed with what He gives | H |
| Who lives for evermore | I |
