Brazen Serpent

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When Israel's grieving tribes complain'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel's grieving tribes complain'd, With fiery serpents greatly pain'd, A serpent strait the prophet made Of molten brass, to view display'd. 2 Around the fainting crowds attend To heaven their mournful sigs ascend; They hope, they look, while from the pole, Descends a pow'r that makes them whole. 3 But, O, what healing to the heart, Doth our redeemer's cross impart! What life, by faith, our souls receive! What pleasures do his sorrows give! 4 Still may I view the savior's cross, And other objects count but loss; Here still be fix'd my feasted eyes, Enraptur'd with his sacrifice! 5 Jesus the savior, balmy name! Thy worth my tongue would now proclaim; By thy atonement set me free, My life, my hope is all from thee.
