The Psalms And Hymns Of Isaac Watts by Isaac Watts

HYMN 124 Moses, Aaron, and Joshua.

C. M.

Moses, Aaron, and Joshua.

*Joshua, the same with Jesus, and signifies a Savior.

'Tis not the law of ten commands

On holy Sinai giv'n,

Or sent to men by Moses' hands,

Can bring us safe to heav'n.

'Tis not the blood which Aaron spilt,

Nor smoke of sweetest smell,

Can buy a pardon for our guilt,

Or save our souls from hell.

Aaron the priest resigns his breath

At God's immediate will;

And in the desert yields to death,

Upon th' appointed hill.

And thus on Jordan's yonder side

The tribes of Isr'el stand,

While Moses bowed his head and died

Short of the promised land.

Isr'el, rejoice, now Joshua* leads,

He'll bring your tribes to rest;

So far the Savior's name exceeds

The ruler and the priest.
