At The Death Of The Last Apostle, Saint John

The old, and last, Apostle, John, has died.
And Jesus, Lord, has not yet come again.
This means more time to witness to Salvation---
and to the saved souls' joyous exultation,
raised from the wallow of the "might have been,"
wholly redeemed from the dread curse of sin.
The Gospel's promise must be testified
onward:  offered to all, received by some:
for Christ expects us to be occupied
with His great mission until He shall come.
