[That voice which speaks Jehovah near]

When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face, &c. —xix. 13.

That voice which speaks Jehovah near,
That still small voice I long to hear:
O might it now the Lord proclaim,
And fill my soul with holy shame!
Ashamed I must for ever be,
Afraid the God of love to see,
If saints and prophets hide their face,
And angels tremble, while they gaze.
