When Israel freed from Pharoah's Hand

Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 114 Lyrics: 1 When Israel, 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 the Base cou'd stand, Conscious of Sovereign Pow'r at Hand. 4 What Pow'r cou'd 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 every Mountain, every Flood, Retire and know th' approaching God, The King of Israel: 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.

When Isra'l, by th'Almighty led

Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 114 Lyrics: 1 When Isra'l, by th'Almighty led, (Enrich'd with their Oppressor's Spoil) From Egypt march'd, and Jacob's Seed From Bondage in a foreign Soil; 2 JEHOVAH, for his Residence, Chose out Imperial Judah's Tent, His Mansion Royal, and from thence Through Israel's Camp his Orders sent. 3 The distant Sea with Terror saw, And from th'Almighty's Presence fled; Old Jordan's Streams surpriz'd with Awe, Retreated to their Fountain's Head. 4 The taller Mountains skipp'd like Rams, When Danger near the Fold they hear; The Hills skipp'd after them like Lambs, Affrighted by their Leader's Fear. 5 O Sea, what made your Tide withdraw, And naked leave your oozy Bed? Why Jordan, against Nature's Law, Recoild'st thou to thy Fountain's Head? 6 Why, Mountains did ye skip like Rams, When Danger does approach the Fold? Why after you, the Hills like Lambs, When they their Leader's Flight behold? 7 Earth tremble on; well may'st thou fear Thy LORD and Maker's Face to see; When Jacob's awful GOD draws near, 'Tis Time for Earth and Seas to flee. 8 To flee from GOD, who Nature's Law Confirms and cancels at his Will; Who Springs, from flinty Rocks, can draw, And thirsty Vales with Water fill.

When Israel out of Egypt came

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 114 Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt came, And left the proud oppressor's land, Supported by the great I AM, Safe in the hollow of his hand, The Lord in Israel reigned alone, And Judah was his favorite throne. 2 The sea beheld his power, and fled, Disparted by the wondrous rod; Jordan ran backward to its head, And Sinai felt th' incumbent God; The mountains skipped like frightened rams, The hills leaped after them as lambs. 3 What ailed thee, O thou trembling sea? What horror turned the river back? Was nature's God displeased with thee? And why should hills or mountains shake? Ye mountains huge, that skipped like rams! Ye hills, that leaped as frightened lambs! 4 Earth, tremble on, with all thy sons, In presence of thy awful Lord, Whose power inverted nature owns, Her only law his sovereign word: He shakes the center with his rod, And heaven bows down to Jacob's God. 5 Creation, varied by his hand, The Omnipotent Jehovah knows; The sea is turned to solid land, The rock into a fountain flows: And all things, as they change, proclaim The Lord eternally the same.

When Israel had from Egypt gone

Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 114 Lyrics: 1 When Israel had from Egypt gone, Jacob from men of speech unknown; then Judah was his holy place, and his dominion Israel's race. 2 The sea, affrighted, saw and fled; back Jordan driven was with dread; the lofty mountains skipped like rams, and all the little hills like lambs. 3 What ailed thee, that thou fledd'st, O sea? Thou, Jordan, that thou back didst flee? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? and all ye little hills like lambs? 4 Earth, tremble, for the Lord is near: before the God of Jacob, fear; who from the rock did water bring, and made the flint a water-spring.
