The Song of Moses and the Lamb
By Harry G. Lucas
The song of Moses was a song of victory sung by Israel because God delivered them from the hand of their enemies. Through faith in the living God, that great multitude passed through the Red Sea without the loss of one, and stood together on the other shore, peaceful and happy. The Lord seemed nearer to them than he had ever been before; and they marveled at his works and glorified his name. Their enemies utterly perished in the hour of Israel’s triumph. Israel’s dilemma in being hemmed in from escape by the sea and the mountains, was, through their faith, turned into a glorious victory, while Egypt’s momentary triumph ended in total disaster and defeat. Israel saw and acknowledged the great work which the Lord performed upon their oppressors, and they believed him and sang his praises. The song of Moses and the Lamb will be sung as a song of experience and victory by the one hundred and forty-four thousand who obtain “the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name.” Rev. 15:2. The nations of earth will array themselves against the people of God at the end, just as Egypt opposed Israel. A decree will go forth utterly to destroy all “who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” At the last moment, God will interpose to save his people, but every soul will be sternly tried, his faith in the living God thoroughly tested, and, through trials and persecutions, he will be prepared to sing the song of Moses and the Lamb in the kingdom of God. May all who read the song which is here given sing it with the author in that great day:— We come as victors, Lord, to seek
Thy throne of wondrous grace;
The song of Moses and the Lamb
To sing before thy face. Thy works, O God, are marvelous,
And great beyond compare;
Thy ways, O King, are glorious,
And just and true they are. Who shall not fear thee here, dear Lord,
And glorify thy name;
When saints, and men, and angels’ word
Thy holiness proclaim? All nations saw thy judgments great;
Thy face they now behold;
They come to worship at thy feet,
To walk the streets of gold.
