Pass We All Through Waves Of Judgment

1 Pass we all through waves of judg­ment,
For our sins, on ho­ly ground
Where ac­cus­ing cries are si­lenced
By the Ark’s tri­um­phant sound.
Now the words of Him once smit­ten
Armor us in rock and shield,
And their fount on pag­es writ­ten,
Cleanse, and sa­tis­fy as meal.

2 Let us heed their signs of warn­ing;
Watching al­ways lest we fall;
Gath’ring man­na ev­ery morn­ing;
Kneeling ’for the Lord of All.
May our minds arise from id­ols
From whence ev­ery sin be­gets.
Let no heart in sec­ret si­dle
Back to ways we must for­get.

3 We, a ris­en ho­ly na­tion,
Share as one the blood and bread
By which we have shed cor­rupt­ion,
Whole in­side our ris­en Head.
Therefore with new eyes of judg­ment,
We shall watch. And clothed in light,
Give the se­vered flesh no mo­ment,
But adjudge it cru­ci­fied.

4 Hearts un­saved will seek em­brace­ment
Of earth’s id­ols de­mons share.
They, from hid­den halls of tor­ment,
Offer joy but bring des­pair.
But now God gives new de­sires
Of our heart from His above;
Lifting long­ings ever high­er
In His ways of peace and love.
