But in that system
what had the focal place?
What showed most
fully the glory of God's name?
The Ark of God,
small amid what was great.
There spoke to God
of one Man's perfect ways
Acacia wood which
formed its hidden frame;
While for His heart
it preciously displayed
God seen in manhood
through gold which overlaid.
And on the Ark the
mercy-seat was placed:
Witness was there
that blood had met sin's stain;
God's righteousness
and love are both maintained.
The cherubim each
fixed on it his face -
God's rights in
judgment are now sustained in grace.
