LXIX. Not to the Terrors of the Lord

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;
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.

3 Behold th' innumerable Host
of Angels cloath'd in Light;
Behold the Spirits of the Just
whose Faith is turn'd to Sight.
4 Behold the blest Assembly there,
whose Names are writ in Heav'n;
And God the Judge of all declares
Their vilest Sins forgiv'n.

5 The Saints on Earth and all the Dead
but one Communion make;
All join in Christ their living Head,
and of his Grace partake.
6 In such Society as this
my weary Soul would rest;
The Man that dwells where Jesus is
must be forever blest.
