Upon Mount Sinai
God showed His plan
A tabernacle as
centre of the camp.
He who approached
the tent had first to pass
Altar and laver for
cleansing heart and hand;
Within he saw the
effulgent golden lamp,
Pure beaten work
embellishing each branch;
The tables with the
bread at God's command
Bearing its freight
above the desert sand;
The golden altar
sublimely odorant
All spoke to God of
the transcendent Man
Whom He would name
as after His own heart,
By whom His full
delight would be advanced.
