1 The law by Moses came,
But peace, and truth, and love,
Were brought by Christ (a nobler name)
Descending from above.
2 Amidst the house of God
Their diff'rent works were done;
Moses a faithful servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
3 Then to his new commands
Be strict obedience paid;
O’er all his Father’s house he stands
The sov'reign and the head.
4 The man that durst despise
The law that Moses brought,
Behold how terribly he dies
For his presumptuous fault.
5 But sorer veng'ance falls
On that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.
