Hymn 50: When on Sinai's top I see

HYMN L.

When on Sinai's top I see God descend in Majesty, To proclaim His holy law, All my spirit sinks with awe.

When, in ecstasy sublime, Tabor's glorious steep I climb, At the too-transporting light, Darkness rushes 'o'er my sight.

When on Calvary I rest, God, in flesh made manifest, Shines in my Redeemer's face, Full of beauty, truth, and .

Here I would for ever stay, Weep and gaze my soul away; Thou art heaven on earth to me, Lovely, mournful Calvary.
