Hymn CIX. Common Metre. The Song of Moses and the Lamb

How great thy works! Almighty God, Who shall not fear thy name! How just and true are all thy ways, Thou Son of God, the Lamb!

More hast thou done, than Moses did, Our prophet, priest and king; From sin thou hast redeem'd our souls, And from death's poisonous sting.

In the red sea, by Moses' hand, Th' Egyptian host was drown'd; But, in thy blood, our souls are cleans'd, And guilt no more is found.

When thro' the desart Israel went, With manna they were fed; But thou hast given thy flesh to eat, And call'd it living bread.

Moses beheld the promis'd land, Yet never reach'd the place; But thou shall bring thy followers home, To see thy father's face.

Thy lofty praise, O king of saints, Shall every nation sing; To thee shall Jew and Gentile race, Their humble offerings bring.

No parting wall shall intervene; But, with united soul, Their voice shall join in songs of praise, Whilst endless ages roll.
