Bondage and Deliverance

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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?

Verse 4

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