LyicsTHE God who once to Israel spoke,
From Sinai's top, in fire and smoke,
In gentle strains of gospel grace,
Invites us now to seek his face.
He wears no terrors on his brow;
He speaks in love from Zion now;
It is the voice of Jesus' blood
Calling poor wand'rers home to God.
The holy Moses quak'd and fear'd
When Sinai's thundering law he heard;
But reigning grace, with accents mild,
Speaks to the sinner as a child.
Hark! how from Calvary it sounds-
From the Redeemer's bleeding wounds;
"Pardon and grace I freely give,
Poor sinner, look to me and live."
