1056
Elijah and the Still, Small Voice
1. Long ago on a mountain peak,
Elijah listened for God to speak.
He heard the wind blowing, a shaking of ground,
The roar of a fire, but the Lord was not found.
Then Elijah did greatly rejoice;
At last he heard the still, small voice,
The still, small voice.
2. Listen, listen, for as we pray,
We too can know what the Lord would say.
No thundering voices or sounds we may hear,
But calm, gentle feelings will tell us He’s near.
Like Elijah, we too will rejoice,
For we can hear the still, small voice,
The still, small voice.
