Poems (Baldwyn)/The Law and the Gospel

by Augusta Baldwyn

THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL.

Behold on Sinai's awful height
 The thunder and the flame!—
More glorious is the gospel light,
 And Love and Peace its name.

The fearful voice from Sinai's hill
 My trembling soul would slay;
But Christ did all the law fulfil,
 And heaven is mine to-day.

Praise to the Lord! from sin and hell
 By his deliv'rance free,
With Christ in glory we may dwell
 Through all eternity!
