When God, His law, to man did give,
He said— “Do this, and thou shalt live;
But whoso sinneth he shall die,
And on his head My curse shall lie.”
When Moses, to the camp did bring
The law from God, Who ruled as King,
He found an idol there did stand,
And broke the tables in his hand.
And so we all God’s law have broke,
Ours is the curse that Moses spoke
And none can ever enter heaven
Unless through grace they are forgiven.
But God, His only Son, did give,
To bear the curse that we might live;
Christ on the cross was crucified
And for the guilty sinner died.
