The Cry of Moses

Oh, walking through the forests,
I had seen Zion, a comely maid,
Appear, with her auburn hair
And face radiant as the sun.
"I had seen the towers of Zion
"Their golden Plateau, and I had
"Seen the many trees of life.
"I had seen my beloved animals there
"And I had seen the fish burst
"Ezekiel's River, and the mounts
"Made smooth through Zion's height.
"I had seen the land was good
"And like Joshua and Caleb
"Wished to enter it, but the LORD 
"Said unto me, 'Gaze upon this hill
"'For you shall not enter into it."
And reading Numbers, I understood
For the people's sin, they did not believe
The report about the beauty of Zion
So they refused to enter, but sought
Sinai as their refuge and not Jerusalem.
"So I wept, not having Zion as my earthly bride
"But was given radiant exposure to the Son
"That I should enter into this peace
"When my time was up,
"For I was not fearful of the Anakim
"When God had showed them to me."
