Not to the terrors of the Lord

Hymnal: Hymnal #184 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Communion of Saints Lyrics: 1 Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke; 2 But we are come to Sion's hill, The city of our God; Where milder words declare His will, And spread His love abroad. 3 Behold th' innumerable host Of angels clothed in light: Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is changed to sight. 4 Behold the bless'd assembly there Whose names are writ in heaven; Hear God, the Judge of all, declare Their sins, through Christ, forgiven. 5 Angels, and living saints and dead But one communion make: All join in Christ, their living Head, And of His love partake.
