WITHIN THE ARK

Within the Ark the tables of the law

Which God had written on by His own hand

Were cared for ‑  in the Ark Jehovah saw

His testimony carried to the land.

There was the manna in the golden pot

And Aaron's rod which budded ‑  evidence

Of what was suited to Jehovah's thought

And of the good it pleased Him to dispense.

And thus God's law was treasured in Christ's heart

As all His will was perfectly expressed;

While blessings God in Christ chose to impart

Delight Himself and those whom He has blessed.

Oh blessed Spirit, help my soul rejoice

In what in Christ makes Him the Father's choice!
