[Moses when Abraham's God is near]

Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. —vii. 32.

Moses when Abraham's God is near,
Will not presume his eyes to raise,
With reverence struck at Isaac's Fear
On Jacob's Lord he dares not gaze:
But all who know the sprinkled blood
With humble confidence draw nigh,
With awe approach a pardoning God,
Yet still they Abba Father cry.
