When Israel fled from Egypt’s land,
And Pharaoh’s host pursued,
Like brazen walls on either hand,
The waves erected stood.
The chosen tribes moved safely on,
And from the adverse shore,
Reviewed the dangers undergone,
And saw their foes no more.
Thus saints descend beneath the flood,
And then emerge again;
Rejoice in Jesus’ cleansing blood,
And see their thousands slain.
Redeemed from Satan’s heavy yoke,
Like Jacob’s sons they raise
Triumphant and harmonious songs,
To their Deliverer’s praise.
In future seasons of distress,
His care will he renew:
He brought them through the wilderness,
And will conduct us through.
