Sinai and Zion. <br /> <br />Heb. 12:18ff <br /> <br />Not to the terrors of the Lord, <br />The tempest, fire, and smoke; <br />Not to the thunder of that word <br />Which God on Sinai spoke; <br /> <br />But we are come to Zion's hill, <br />The city of our God, <br />Where milder words declare his will, <br />And spread his love abroad. <br /> <br />Behold th' innumerable host <br />Of angels clothed in light! <br />Behold the spirits of the just, <br />Whose faith is turned to sight! <br /> <br />Behold the blest assembly there <br />Whose names are writ in heav'n! <br />And God, the Judge of all, declares <br />Their vilest sins forgiv'n. <br /> <br />The saints on earth and all the dead <br />But one communion make; <br />All join in Christ their living Head, <br />And of his grace partake. <br /> <br />In such society as this <br />My weary soul would rest; <br />The man that dwells where Jesus is <br />Must be for ever blest.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-152/
