#46The Ark
Hymn Display
1
WHEN ancient Israel met the foe,
That aimed at them a deadly blow,
Though oft their prospects seemed most dark,
They triumphed when they had the Ark.
2
The Ark when borne to Jordan's tide,
Caused its deep waters to divide;
They need no boat in which t' embark;
They cross–because they have the Ark.
3
They march around old Jericho,
Its towering walls are laid full low
Hear ye that mighty shouting? Hark!
They triumph, for they have the Ark.
4
Where was the strength by which it wrought,
And to its bearers victory brought?
It was a chest of wood–but mark!
The law of God was in the Ark.
5
When men oppose that law of love,
They lack the wisdom from above;
Deluded souls! They're in the dark,
Without the truth–without the Ark.
6
The remnant in these latter days
Will triumph sure; give God the praise!
They, of the beast, refuse the mark,
They keep God's law–they have the Ark.
