HYMN 118. (S. M.) Moses and Christ; or, Sins against the Law and Gospel, John i. 17. Heb. iii. 3. 5, 6. and x. 28, 29.
I
The law by Moses came,But peace, and truth, and love,
Were brought by Christ, a nobler name,
Descending from above.
286
II
Amidst the house of GodTheir different works were done;
Moses a faithful servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
III
Then to his new commandsBe strict obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's house he stands
The sovereign and the head.
IV
The man that durst despiseThe law that Moses brought,
Behold! how terribly he dies
For his presumptuous fault.
V
But sorer vengeance fallsOn that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.
