HE Lord declares his will, THE And keeps the world in awe; e Amidst the smoke of Sinai's hill, Breaks out his fiery law. 2 The Lord reveals his face, o Sends down the gospel of his grace, Th' epistles of his love. 3 These sacred words impart Our Maker's just commands; e The pity of his melting heart, 0 And vengeance of his hands. 5 (We learn Christ crucified, 6 We read the heavenly word, 7 In vain shall Satan rage e Where wrath and lightning guard the page, 1 HYMN 121.
