APPROACH TO GOD

When Moses has inscribed these truths

Taking up priestly work the youths

Make sacrifice to God;

As stony tables of the heart

Are graven with God's words, saints start

To sound His praise abroad.

After his reading Moses took

The blood to sprinkle men and book

To seal the covenant;

For the new covenant to take place

The blood of Jesus forms the base

Of all that God will grant.

Where He appeared in clarity

The Israelite nobility

Saw God and ate and drank;

By faith you can approach God now

And know that He to whom you bow

Confers the highest rank.

Now Moses goes before God's face

To take the mediator's place

And thus receive God's plan;

You may know all God chose to think

Of you because you have a link

In the ascended Man.
