Religion
2 Kings 2:11: He leap'd the fatal ditch, where all
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
He leap'd the fatal ditch, where all
Our death-devoted race must fall!
Who once so fondly wish'd to die,
He went, not downward, to the sky,
And show'd the way by heaven desigiid
To save our whole translated kind.
