Bondage and Deliverance

Representative Text

1 When Israel out of Egypt went,
from people of a speech unknown,
the LORD among His people dwelt,
and there He set His royal throne.

2 The sea beheld and fled away,
the Jordan's waters backward turned,
the lofty mountains and the hills
with trembling awe our God discerned.

3 What aileth thee, O troubled sea?
Thou Jordan, why thy riven tide?
Ye mountains and ye little hills,
why thus dismayed on every side?

4 O tremble, earth, before the LORD,
in presence of Jehovah fear,
beneath whose touch the flinty rock
became a fount of waters clear.
