How well employ my Tongue! And in my tiresome Pilgrimage, Yields me a heav'nly song. 4 Am I a Stranger or at Home, 'Tis my perpetual Feast; Not Honey dropping from the Comb So much allures the Taste. 5 No Treasures so enrich the Mind; Nor shall thy Word be sold For Loads of Silver well refin'd, Nor Heaps of choicest Gold. 6 When Nature sinks, and Spirits droop, Thy Promises of Grace Are Pillars to support my Hope, And there I write thy Praise.

Sinai and Calvary

Author: John Hay Hymnal: Laudes Domini #440 (1890) Topics: Law of God; Law of God First Line: From Sinai's cloud of darkness Lyrics: 1 From Sinai's cloud of darkness The vivid lightnings play, They serve the God of vengeance, The Lord who shall repay. Each fault must bring its penance, Each sin the avenging blade; For God upholds in justice The laws that he hath made. 2 But Calvary stands to ransom The earth from utter loss, In shade than light more glorious, The shadow of the Cross. To heal a sick world's trouble, To soothe its woe and pain, On Calvary's sacred summit The Paschal Lamb was slain. 3 The boundless might of Heaven Its law in mercy furled, As once the bow of promise O'erarched a drowning world. The law said As you keep me It shall be done to you. But Calvary prays--Forgive them, They know not what they do. 4 Almighty God! direct us To keep thy perfect Law! O blessed Saviour, help us Nearer to thee to draw; Let Sinai's thunders aid us To guard our feet from sin, And Calvary's light inspire us The love of God to win. Languages: English Tune Title: ST.
