Not in the whirlwind was the voice divine
That called Elijah to more radiant light;
Not in the flame, nor in the seeming might
Of earthquake, striving vainly to define
Deific power. Fearless and firm he stood,
Ready to bow the head—to make his choice,
Firm in the faith of everlasting good—
Waiting with fervent heart the "still small voice."
Oh, may our hearts be steadfast as was his,
Giving no power to sense, or sign amiss,
Heedfully watching for that loving Mind
To be in us, and make us Christly kind,
Marking the goal, our purpose fixed for God,
Joyfully treading where our Master trod!
