Religion
2 Kings 2:13: He took up the mantle that fell from him
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Ascending to be clothed upon
With purest robes of heavenly light,
(Robes that outshine the noonday sun,)
He drops his mantle in his flight!
Divested of mortality
He needs it not to wrap his face,
Allow'd his God unveil'd to see,
And strong to bear the glorious blaze!
