Moses climbs Mount Sinai a second time, carrying two new stone tablets after breaking the first pair, and stays there forty days without bread or water while the LORD proclaims his own name aloud.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
The LORD said to Moses, chisel two stone tablets like the first I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets Which you broke
Be ready by the morning and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai And present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain No one shall come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain Do not let the flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain
He chiselled two tablets of stone like the first Then Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai As the LORD had commanded him and took in his hand Two stone tablets
The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there And proclaimed the LORD’s name
The LORD the LORD a merciful and gracious God Slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness and truth Keeping loving kindness for thousands Forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin
And who will by no means clear the guilty Visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children And on the children’s children on the third and on the fourth generation Moses hurried and bowed his head towards the earth
And worshipped He said, if now I have found favour in your sight, Lord Please let the Lord go amongst us Even though this is a stiff-necked people
Pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us for your inheritance He said, behold, I make a covenant Before all your people I will do marvels Such as have not been worked in all the earth
Nor in any nation And all the people amongst whom you are Shall see the work of the LORD For it is an awesome thing that I do with you
Observe that which I command you today Behold I will drive out before you the Amorite The Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite I will give you a land flowing with milk and honey
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai With the two tablets of the covenant in Moses’ hand Moses didn’t know that the skin of his face shone By reason of his speaking with him The skin of Moses’ face shone and they were afraid to come near him
