2 Kings 2:9: Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Before the saints to glory go.
We may implore their aid;
Christ doth on us the gifts bestow.
For which on earth they pray'd:
But when He doth our friends remove.
Himself their place supplies.
Our only Advocate above,
Who prays us to the skies.
Kings i. II — a. II.
