Words

Hark ! from the cross a voice of peace,Bids Sinai's awful thunder cease !Sinner ! that voice of love obey,From Christ, the true, the living way.

How else his presence wilt thou bear,When he in judgment shall appear ?When slighted love to wrath shall turn,And all the earth like Sinai burn?

Now from the cross a voice of peace,Bids Sinai's awful thunder cease—O sinner, while 'tis called to-day,That voice of saving love obey.
