The fiery law by Moses given

Verse 1
The fiery law by Moses given,
Was thunder’d in a voice from heaven;
In shadowy types and victims slain,
Which could not purge our sinful stain,
It only pointed at the Lamb:
But grace and truth by Jesus came.

Verse 2
He in our mortal flesh reveal’d,
The types substantially fulfil’d,
By one sufficient sacrifice,
Forever smoaking thro’ the skies,
He answer’d the demand of God,
And quench’d the wrath with all his blood.
