MOUNTAINS

First, Ararat - God had established

New ground for man; then that mountain

Where He demonstrated the principle

Of sacrifice; at Horeb was founded

New covenant ground; and Zion showed

Mercy's sovereign rights; best things

Of the ancient mountains. But now

Christ is recognised in the mountain

Of legislation; is signified as Son

On the transfiguration mount; while from the great

And high mountain the assembly glory

Shines in its serenity: the precious

Things of the everlasting hills.
