When Israel, Freed from Pharaoh’s Hand (EN 1616)

EN 1616 When Israel, Freed from Pharaoh’s Hand

Ps.114.1

Versi Version 1

1

When Israel, freed from Pharaoh’s hand

Left the proud tyrant and his land,

The tribes with cheerful 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 sovereign power at hand.

4

What power 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 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.
