Sinai and Zion

Verse 1

Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke: Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke:

Verse 2

But we are come to Sion's hill, The city of our God; Where milder words declare His will, And spread His love abroad.

Verse 3

Behold th' innumerable host Of angels clothed in light: Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is turned to sight.

Verse 4

Behold the blest assembly there Whose names are writ in heaven; Hear God, the Judge of all, declare Their sins, through Christ, forgiven.

Verse 5

Angels, and living saints, and dead But one communion make: All join in Christ, their living Head, And of His love partake.
