| Text: | When God confirmed his law to men |
| Author: | R. F. Cottrell |
| Tune: | AVON |
| Composer: | Hugh Wilson |
1 When God confirmed his law to men
Through Israel's waiting flock,
He spake aloud his precepts ten,
And graved them in the rock.
2 Within the tent's most holy place
That sacred law was brought,
Nor can the hand of man efface
What great Jehovah wrought.
3 But God well knew perdition's son
Would ne'er his precepts love;
He gave a duplicate alone,
And kept his own above.
4 There in the tabernacle true,
Pitched not by hands of men,
That sacred law is kept in view,
The holy precepts ten.
