Text: | Not to the terrors of the Lord |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | [Not to the terrors of the Lord] |
Composer: | W. Tansur |
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 clothed in light:
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to sight.
4 Behold the blest assembly there
Whose names are writ in heaven;
Hear God, the Judge of all, declare
Their sins, through Christ, forgiven.
5 Angels, and living saints, and dead
But one communion make:
All join in Christ, their living Head,
And of His love partake.
