Not to the Terrors of the Lord
VERSE 1
Not to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire, and smoke;
Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke;
VERSE 2
But we are come to Sion’s hill,
The city of our God,
Where milder words declare His will,
And spread His love abroad.
VERSE 3
Behold th’innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light!
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to sight!
VERSE 4
Behold the blessed assembly there
Whose names are writ in Heav’n!
And God, the Judge of all, declares
Their vilest sins forgiv’n.
VERSE 5
The saints on earth and all the dead
But one communion make;
All join in Christ their living Head,
And of His grace partake.
VERSE 6
In such society as this
My weary soul would rest:
The man that dwells where Jesus is
Must be forever blessed.
