These are very rich wonderful lyrics to sing to the tune: "Chariots of Fire"

"The Mountain of God" to the tune 'Chariots of Fire'

1. We tread in their footsteps, where prophets have trod;
we come to the mountain, the presence of God.
The bush that was burning with fire all around;
we stand there with Moses, on holy ground.

O give me the eyes and ears of faith, to answer Your call!
O give me a heart on fire with love to give You my all.

2. The mountain of meeting, of covenant law,
created a people of worship and awe.
Delivered from bondage, the blood was their sign;
they sang of redemption; we stand in their line.

O give me….

3. The glory of Jesus, majestic to see;
Up high on a mountain, transfigured was he.
Elijah and Moses appeared from the past,
predicting salvation accomplished at last.

O give me...

4. We come to Mount Zion, of suffering love;
The church of the firstborn, redeemed from above.
The Cross is our glory, its value unpriced;
a love ever-burning in Jesus the Christ.

O give me…
