Lyrics
He said to Moses, come up to the LORD You and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu And seventy of the elders of Israel And worship from a distance
Moses alone shall come near to the LORD But they shall not come near The people shall not go up with him Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words
And all the ordinances, and all the people answered with one voice And said, all the words which the LORD has spoken will we do Moses wrote all the LORD’s words
Then rose up early in the morning and built an altar At the base of the mountain with twelve pillars For the twelve tribes of Israel He sent young men who offered burnt offerings
And sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins And half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people
And they said, we will do all that the LORD has said And be obedient Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people And said, look, this is the blood of the covenant
Which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu And seventy of the elders of Israel went up They saw the God of Israel
Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone Like the skies for clearness He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel They saw God and ate and drank
The LORD said to Moses Come up to me on the mountain and stay here And I will give you the stone tablets with the law And the commands that I have written
That you may teach them Moses rose up with Joshua his servant And Moses went up onto God’s mountain The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai And the cloud covered it six days
