Alternate Tunes:
How strong Thine arm is, mighty God!
Who would not fear Thy name?
Jesus, how sweet Thy graces are!
Who would not love the Lamb?
He has done more than Moses did,
Our prophet and our king;
From bonds of hell He freed our souls,
And taught our lips to sing.
In the Red Sea by Moses’ hand
Th’Egyptian host was drowned;
But Christ’s own blood hides all our sins,
And guilt no more is found.
When thro’ the desert Israel went,
With manna they were fed;
Our Lord invites us to His flesh,
And calls it living bread.
Moses beheld the promised land,
Yet never reached the place!
But Jesus brings His followers home
To see His Father’s face.
Then shall our love and joy be full,
And feel a warmer flame,
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
