The Glory of God descended
From celestial Heavens high
Wilderness land of Horeb
Mount called Sinai
Out of the midst of the fire
Dark cloud and thick smoke
The voice of Almighty God
Unto the Nation spoke
At the base of the mount
The Israelites stood in fear
Pleading with the prophet, Moses
To ascend and hear
God’s words of a covenant promise
Even the commandments; ten
Statutes and judgments for learning
For Moses to tutor all men
The God of our faithful fathers
Brought forth with a mighty hand
All the nation of Israel
To give a promised land
The sovereign, merciful God
To Him goes all the Glory
Our Lord is supremely righteous
The Spirit is forever Holy
