And I love the irony of that number for that hymn.<br /><br />On Moses vs. "Israel-reduced-to-one," I'm not sure we can parse that difference too finely. For they were all "baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea."<br /><br />I've heard of that "sons of David" Lenten series ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I'm always gratified to read them, whenever I am able to give it my time and attention.Rev.

Like you, I've always taken Christ as Moses in that stanza - but the handbook sees it more as an "Israel reduced to One" situation!<br /><br />The handbook also lists Christ as Gideon for "O Little Flock, Fear Not the Foe" (the appropriately numberd 666 in LSB).<br /><br />Then there are all the "David's Sons" hymns - a friend did a Lenten series on all the sons being types of Christ.Rev.

Another one that belongs to somewhat the same category, which also happens to be one of my favorite new hymns in the LSB, is "Christ Sits at God's Right Hand" (LSB 564) by Rev. Stephen Starke.<br /><br />Also, "All the Earth with Joy Is Sounding" (LSB 462), another strong Starke hymn.<br /><br />Then there's the classic Easter hymn from St. John of Damascus, "Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain" (LSB 487), which portrays Christ as the new and greater Moses.<br /><br />There is a richness to this typology, which the fathers recognized and used to good purpose in their preaching and catechesis.Rev.
