156. The God who once to Israel spoke

1 The God who once to Israel spoke
From Sinai's top, in fire and smoke,
In gentler strains of gospel grace,
Invites us now to seek his face.

2 He wears no terrors on his brow;
He speaks in love from Zion now.
It is the voice of Jesus' blood,
That calls us wand'rers back to God.

3 Hark! how from Calvary it sounds;
From the Redeemer's bleeding wounds;
"Pardon and grace I freely gave,
"Then, sinner, look to me and live."

4 What other arguments can move
The heart that slights a Saviour's love?
O may that heav'nly pow'r be felt,
And cause the stony heart to melt!
