First Line: Moses, the patriot fierce, became
Last Line: To gain his future rest!
Subject(s): Moses
MOSES, the patriot fierce, became
The meekest man on earth,
To show us how love's quick'ning flame
Can give our souls new birth.
Moses, the man of meekest heart,
Lost Canaan by self-will,
To show, where Grace has done its part,
How sin defiles us still.
Thou, who hast taught me in Thy fear.
Yet seest me frail at best,
O grant me loss with Moses here,
To gain his future rest!
