Isaac Watts - Hymn 124
Work rating: Low

Moses, Aaron, and Joshua.

`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.
