Israel in ancient days

Meter: Irregular Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:2 Lyrics: 1 Israel in ancient days, Not only had a view Of Sinai in a blaze, But learn'd the gospel too; The types and figures were a glass, In which they saw the Saviour's face. 2 The paschal sacrifice And blood-besprinkled door, Seen with enlighten'd eyes, And once apply'd with power, Would teach the need of other blood, To reconcile an angry God. 3 The Lamb, the Dove, set forth His perfect innocence, Whose blood of matchless worth Should be the soul's defence; For he who can for sin atone, Must have no failings of his own. 4 The scape-goat on his head The people's trespass bore, And, to the desert lead, Was to be seen no more; In him our surety seem'd to say, "Behold I bear your sins away." 5 Dipt in his fellow's blood, The living bird went free; The type well understood, Express'd the sinners plea; Describ'd a guilty soul enlarg'd, And by a Saviour's death discharg'd. 6 Jesus, I love to trace Throughout the sacred page, The footsteps of thy grace, The same in ev'ry age! O grant that I may faithful be To clearer light vouchsaf'd to me.
