When Israel, led by Yahweh’s hand

Verse 1

When Israel, led by Yahweh’s hand, Approached fair Canaan’s happy land, What pow’r then made the deep divide And Jordan backward roll its tide!

Verse 2

Lo! every mountain, every flood, Confessed the presence of its God; Earth trembled to its utmost base, And ocean fled before his face.

Verse 3

So once again the earth shall shake, When all who sleep in dust awake, When all the awful trumpet hear, And at the judgment seat appear.

Verse 4

Flee then to him who from the rock Brought water for his fainting flock, And caused those living streams to flow, Which life and health and bliss bestow.
