2 Kings 2: See the true Elijah flies

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

See the true Elijah flies,
Lord of those unfolding skies!
Swifter than the whirhvind's wings,
Flies the glorious King of kings,
Girt with flames of living fire,
Higher still He soars and higher.
Till He gains His bright abode.
Carries up our hearts to God!
