Law
The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed 1. Why do the heathen rage in foolish pride? And with their vain imaginings deride? The kings and rulers set themselves as one Against the Lord, His church, and His Anointed Son. “Let us renounce that hated law,” they cry, “Unfetter men, cast off the heav’nly tie.” But He […]
1. When ancient Israel met the foe, That aimed at them a deadly blow, Though oft their prospects seemed most dark, They triumphed when they had the Ark. 2. The Ark when borne to Jordan’s tide, Caused its deep waters to divide; They need no boat for to embark; They cross—because they have the Ark. […]
1. On the mount the Law was giv’n, Ten great promises of heav’n; Precious precepts from above, Mirror of the Saviour’s love. Refrain Loyalty and worship true, Holiness and rev’rence too, Honor parents, life respect, In Thy precepts I am blest. 2. On the cross the Saviour died, Then the Law was magnified; Justice did […]

1. Evil times had fully come, Moral darkness covered earth; God’s Son came in mortal flesh, And partook of human birth. 2. So God came to dwell with men, To expose the many lies That had marred His image bright, In men’s hearts and in men’s eyes. 3. And to justify God’s law As the […]
