1 Kings 19:13: That voice which speaks Jehovah near

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

That voice which speaks Jehovah near,
That still small voice I long to hear:
O might it now the Lord proclaim,
And fill my soul with holy shame!
Ashamed I must for ever be,
Afraid the God of love to see,
If saints and prophets hide their face.
And angels tremble, while they gaze.
