Exodus 19:1--31:18

• [Exo 19:5] Being His

  His oceans all rumble and batter His shore, But He will be new when its waves are no more. His mountains reach skyward to touch His sweet face; His forests burst forth as He showers their place. The mighty Leviathan leaps in His seas, The eagle mounts up on the joy of His breeze. The creatures of earth borrow life from His hand, Their days are all numbered by His firm command. Eternity springs from His Infinite Mind— All time and all space from His fingers unwind, His intricate, limitless, unbounded skill Spins threads of His sovereign, inscrutable will. The thunder of Sinai resounds in our ears, The judgment of God stirs the deepest of fears! But, awesome and wondrous—more staggering still— The flashes of lightning from Calvary’s hill! But O! How mighty, how perfect, how free, How blessèd, how precious, how lovely is He! And O! How grand, and how sweet to behold The trophies of grace He has won from of old! A radiant triumph illumines His face! He strides to His throne, the Colossus of Grace! He sits, and His Father proclaims Him True Son! His strife is now over; His battle is done. We bow, we adore, we fall down at His throne, He gathers us into His arms as His own! He seats us in glory beside Him above, To crown His achievement with splendors of love!

  The Lord of might from Sinai’s brow Gave forth His voice of thunder; And Israel lay on earth below, Outstretched in fear and wonder; Beneath His feet was pitchy night, And at His left hand, and His right, The rocks were rent asunder. The Lord of love, on Calvary, A meek and suffering Stranger, Upraised to heaven His languid eye, In nature’s hour of danger; For us, He bore the weight of woe, For us, He gave His blood to flow, And met His Father’s anger. The Lord of love, the Lord of might, The King of all created, Shall back return to claim His right, On clouds of glory seated; With trumpet sound and angel song, And hallelujahs loud and long, O’er death and hell defeated.

  Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke; But we are come to Sion’s hill, The city of our God, Where milder words declare His will, And spread His love abroad. Behold th’innumerable host Of angels clothed in light! Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is turned to sight! Behold the blessed assembly there Whose names are writ in Heav’n! And God, the Judge of all, declares Their vilest sins forgiv’n. The saints on earth and all the dead But one communion make; All join in Christ their living Head, And of His grace partake. In such society as this My weary soul would rest: The man that dwells where Jesus is Must be forever blessed.

  Another six days’ work is done Another Sabbath is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day that God hath blest. Come, praise the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to weary minds; Provides an antepast of Heaven And gives this day the food of seven. O that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies! And draw from Heaven that sweet repose Which none but he who feels it knows. A heavenly calm pervades the breast Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the Church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains. With joy, great God, Thy works we view, In various scenes, both old and new; With praise we think on mercies past, With hope we future pleasure taste. In holy duties let the day, In holy comforts pass away; The Sabbath thus we love to spend, In hope of one which ne’er shall end.

While we pray for pardoning grace, through the dear Redeemer’s Name, Show Thy reconciled face, shine away our sin and shame; From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this night with Thee, From our worldly cares set free, may we rest this night with Thee. Here we come Thy Name to praise, let us feel Thy presence near, May Thy glory meet our eyes, while we in Thy house appear: Here afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast, Here afford us, Lord, a taste of our everlasting feast.

• [Exo 20:2] That Man A Godly Life Might Live

  That man a godly life might live, God did these Ten Commandments give By His true servant Moses, high Upon the Mount Sinai. Have mercy, Lord! I am thy God and Lord alone, No other God before Me own; Put thy whole confidence in Me And love Me e’er cordially. Have mercy, Lord! By idle word and speech profane Take not My holy Name in vain And praise but that as good and true Which I Myself say and do. Have mercy, Lord! Hallow the day which God hath blest That thou and all thy house may rest; Keep hand and heart from labor free That God may so work in thee. Have mercy, Lord! Give to thy parents honor due, Be dutiful, and loving, too, And help them when their strength decays, So shalt thou have length of days. Have mercy, Lord! Kill thou not out of evil will, Nor hate, nor render ill for ill; Be patient and of gentle mood, And to thy foe do thou good. Have mercy, Lord. Be faithful to thy marriage vows, Thy heart give only to thy spouse; Thy life keep pure, and lest thou sin, Use temperance and discipline. Have mercy, Lord! Steal not; oppressive acts abhor; Nor wring their life blood from the poor; But open wide thy loving hand To all the poor in the land. Have mercy, Lord. Bear not false witness nor belie Thy neighbor by foul calumny. Defend his innocence from blame; With charity hide his shame. Have mercy, Lord! Thy neighbor’s house desire thou not, His wife, nor aught that he hath got, But wish that his such good may be As thy heart doth wish for thee. Have mercy, Lord! God these commandments gave therein To show thee, child of man, thy sin And make thee also well perceive How man unto God should live. Have mercy, Lord! Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we A Mediator have in Thee. Our works cannot salvation gain; They merit but endless pain. Have mercy, Lord!

  O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, most beautiful, most bright: On Thee, the high and lowly, through ages joined in tune, Sing holy, holy, holy, to the great God Triune. On Thee, at the creation, the light first had its birth; On Thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On Thee, our Lord, victorious, the Spirit sent from Heaven, And thus on Thee, most glorious, a triple light was given. Thou art a port, protected from storms that round us rise; A garden, intersected with streams of paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain in life’s dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah’s mountain, we view our promised land. Thou art a holy ladder, where angels go and come; Each Sunday finds us gladder, nearer to Heaven, our home; A day of sweet refection, thou art a day of love, A day of resurrection from earth to things above. Today on weary nations the heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations the silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel light is glowing with pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing, with soul refreshing streams. New graces ever gaining from this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining to spirits of the blessed. To Holy Ghost be praises, to Father, and to Son; The church her voice upraises to Thee, blessed Three in One.

• [Exo 25:8] God Is In His Temple

  God is in His temple, the almighty Father! Round His footstool let us gather; Him with adoration, serve the Lord most holy, Who hath mercy on the lowly. Let us raise hymns of praise for His great salvation; God is in His temple! Christ comes to His temple; we, His Word receiving, Are made happy in believing. Lo! from sin delivered, He hath turned our sadness, Our deep gloom to light and gladness! Let us raise hymns of praise, for our bonds are severed; Christ comes to His temple! Come and claim Thy temple, gracious Holy Spirit! In our hearts Thy home inherit; Make in us Thy dwelling, Thy high work fulfilling, Into ours Thy will instilling; Till we raise hymns of praise, beyond mortal telling, In the eternal temple!

• [Exo 25:8] God Reveals His Presence

  God reveals His presence, Let us now adore Him, And with awe appear before Him. God is in His temple, All in us keep silence, And before Him bow with reverence. Him alone, God we own, He’s our Lord and Savior; Praise His Name forever. God reveals His presence, Whom angelic legions Serve with awe in heav’nly regions: Holy, Holy, Holy, Sing the hosts of Heaven, Praise to God be ever given: Condescend to attend Graciously, O Jesus; To our songs and praises. O majestic Being, Were our soul and body Thee to serve at all times ready; Might we, like the angels Who behold Thy glory, In submission sink before Thee; And through grace all our days In our whole demeanor, Give Thee praise and honor! Lord, come dwell within us, While on earth we tarry, Make us Thy blest sanctuary. O vouchsafe Thy presence, Draw unto us nearer, And reveal Thyself still clearer; Us direct and protect, Thus we in all places Shall show forth Thy praises.

• [Exo 25:22] Approach, My Soul, The Mercy Seat

  Approach, my soul, the mercy seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there. Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By war without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. Be Thou my Shield and hiding Place, That, sheltered by Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him Thou hast died! O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead Thy gracious Name. “Poor tempest-tossèd soul, be still; My promised grace receive”; ’Tis Jesus speaks—I must, I will, I can, I do believe.

• [Exo 25:22] Before Thy Mercy Seat, O Lord

  Before Thy mercy seat, O Lord, Behold, Thy servants stand, To ask the knowledge of Thy Word, The guidance of Thy hand. Let Thy eternal truths, we pray, Dwell richly in each heart; That from the safe and narrow way We never may depart. Lord, from Thy Word remove the seal, Unfold its hidden store, And as we read, teach us to feel Its value more and more. Help us to see a Savior’s love Shine forth from every page, And let the thoughts of joys above Our inmost souls engage. Thus, while Thy Word our footsteps guides, Shall we be truly blest, And soon arrive where love provides An everlasting rest.

• [Exo 25:22] From Every Stormy Wind

  From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; ’Tis found beneath the mercy seat. There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads; A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood bought mercy seat. There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy seat. There, there, on eagles’ wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more; And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy seat. Oh, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy seat!

• [Exo 25:22] Jehovah, God, Who Dwelt Of Old

  Jehovah, God, who dwelt of old In temples made with hands, Thy power display, Thy truth unfold, Where this new temple stands. Vouchsafe to meet Thy children here, Nor ever hence depart; From sorrow’s eye wipe every tear, And bless each longing heart. The rich man’s gift, the widow’s mite, Are blended in these walls; These altars welcome all alike Who heed God’s gracious calls. From things unholy and unclean We separate this place; May naught here ever come between This people and Thy face! Now with this house we give to Thee Ourselves, our hearts, our all, The pledge of faith and loyalty, Held subject to Thy call. And when at last the blood washed throng Is gathered from all lands, We’ll enter with triumphant songs The house not made with hands.

  Lord, I approach, Thy mercy seat, Where Thou dost answer prayer; There humbly fall before Thy feet, For none can perish there.

• [Exo 28:29] Now Let Our Cheerful Eyes Survey

  Now let our cheerful eyes survey Our great High Priest above, And celebrate His constant care, And sympathetic love. Though raised to a superior throne, Where angels bow around, And high o’er all the shining train, With matchless honors crowned— The names of all His saints He bears Engraven on His heart; Nor shall a name once treasured there E’er from His care depart. Those characters shall fair abide Our everlasting trust, When gems, and monuments, and crowns, Are moldered down to dust. So, gracious Savior! on my breast, May Thy dear Name be worn, A sacred ornament and guard, To endless ages borne.

• [Exo 31:11] In Thy Holy Place

  In Thy holy place we bow, Perfumes sweet to heaven rise, While our golden censers glow With the fire of sacrifice. Saints low bending, prayers ascending, Holy lips and hands implore; Faith believing and receiving Grace from Him Whom we adore. Holy light doth fill this place, Spirit light our way to guide; In the presence of Thy face Sin and darkness ne’er can hide. Heaven’s gleaming, fullness streaming, Life and truth for man is found; Light pervading, never fading, Lighting all the world around. On Thy holy bread we feed, Hunger nevermore to know; Thou suppliest all our need; Father, whither shall we go? Ne’er forsaking, here partaking Bread our souls to satisfy; Here abiding and confiding, We shall never want nor die.
