When Isr'el, freed from Pharaoh's Hand

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P114 (1766) Topics: Ministers ordained 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.
