While Sinai roars, and round the earth,
Thunder, and fire, and vengeance flings;
Jesus, thy dear, expiring breath.
And Calvary, speak gentler things.
Pardon, and grace, and boundless love,
Streaming along a Saviour's blood;
And life, and joys, and crowns above,
Purchased by our redeeming God.
Hark! how he prays, (the charming sound
Dwells on his dying lips) — Forgive!
And every groan, and gaping wound,
Cries, "Father let the rebels live!"
Go, ye that rest upon the law.
And toil and seek salvation there;
Look to the flames that Moses saw,
And shrink, and tremble, and despair.
But I'll retire beneath the cross;
Saviour, at thy dear feet I'll lie:
And the keen sword that justice draws,
Flaming and red, shall pass me by.
While Sinai roars, and round the earth,
Thunder, and fire, and vengeance flings;
Jesus, thy dear, expiring breath.
And Calvary, speak gentler things.
Pardon, and grace, and boundless love,
Streaming along a Saviour's blood;
And life, and joys, and crowns above,
Purchased by our redeeming God.
Hark! how he prays, (the charming sound
Dwells on his dying lips) — Forgive!
And every groan, and gaping wound,
Cries, "Father let the rebels live!"
Go, ye that rest upon the law.
And toil and seek salvation there;
Look to the flames that Moses saw,
And shrink, and tremble, and despair.
But I'll retire beneath the cross;
Saviour, at thy dear feet I'll lie:
And the keen sword that justice draws,
Flaming and red, shall pass me by.
