When faith to Sinai looks,

When faith to Sinai looks,
It fills the heart with dread;
And justifies the dreadful stroke
That strikes the sinner dead.

And when by faith we trace
Christ is the only way
From endless wrath to endless bliss,
We for the blessing pray.

But when faith views the Lamb,
As my atoning Priest,
It magnifies his precious name,
And sets the heart at rest.

How precious is the faith
That God to Zion gives!
It triumphs over sin and death,
And in Jehovah lives.
