Deliverances

Verse 1

What hath God wrought! might Israel say, When Jordan roll'd its tide away, And gave a passage to their bands, Safely to march across its sands.

Verse 2

What hath God wrought! might well be said, When Jesus, rising from the dead, Scatter'd the shades of pagan night, And bless'd the nations with his light.

Verse 3

What hath God wrought! let Britain see, Freed from the plagues of popery, Its ten fold night, its iron chains, Its galling yoke, its cruel pains.

Verse 4

What hath God wrought! in glad surprize, Shall sound thro' all the earth and skies, When, like a mill-stone in the main, Proud Rome shall sink, nor rise again.

Verse 5

What hath God wrought! O blissful theme! Are we redeem'd, and call'd by him? Shall we be led the desert thro'?— And safe arrive at glory too?—

Verse 6

The news shall every heart employ, Fill every tongue with rapturous joy; When shall we join the heavenly throng, To swell the triumph and the song!
