Religion
2 Kings 2:17: They sought, but found him not
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
To traverse hills and dales is vain,
Or search the world around,
It cannot bring us to the man
On earth no longer found:
But following him in holy love,
In zeal, and faith, and prayer,
We soon shall find the seer above,
And share his raptures there.
