When God confirmed his law to men
1
When God confirmed his law to men,Through Israel's waiting flock,He spake aloud his precepts ten,And graved them in the rock.
2
Within the tent's most holy placeThat sacred law was brought,Nor can the hand of man effaceWhat great Jehovah wrought.
3
But God well knew perdition's sonWould ne'er his precepts love;He gave a duplicate alone,And kept his own above.
4
There in the tabernacle true,Pitched not by hands of men,The sacred law is kept in view,The holy precepts ten.
