Miracles attending Israel's Journey

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #207a (1740) Topics: Ministers ordained First Line: When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand, Left the proud Tyrant, and his Land, The Tribes with chearful Homage own Their King, and Judah was his Throne. 2 Across the Deep their Journey lay; The Deep divides to make them Way; Jordan beheld their March, and fled With backward Current to his Head. 3 The Mountains shook like frighted Sheep, Like Lambs the little Hillocks leap! Not Sinai on her base could stand, Conscious of sov'reign Pow'r at Hand. 4 What Pow'r could make the Deep divide? Make Jordan backward roll his Tide? Why did ye leap, ye little Hills? And whence the Fright that Sinai feels? 5 Let ev'ry Mountain, ev'ry Flood, Retire and know th' approaching GOD, The King of Isr'el: see him here: Tremble thou Earth, adore and fear. 6 He thunders, and all Nature mourns; The Rock to standing Pools he turns; Flints spring with Fountains at his Word, And Fires and Seas confess the Lord.

May he Jesus' mandates keep, "Feed my lambs" and "Feed My sheep"! By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy Word and Sacrament, May he so proclaim the Word That who hear him hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toil, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him in his charge to find Listening ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deepening peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ, their head, And, at last, together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee.
