Elijah Fed by Ravens by Paolo Fiammingo Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco
Praises to the great Elijah! Let our song to heaven rise.
His the grace to hear God's whisper
Where all earthly music dies.
Clad in skins he made his dwelling
On Mount Carmel, finding there
That austere and lonely wisdom
Hidden in a life of prayer.
Now we pray our Prophet-father
That our lives obtain this grace,
An outpouring of the Spirit
Over every time and place.
Praise and honour to the Father,
To the Son and Spirit praise
Their be all love abd worship
Now and for eternal days.
