When Isr’el out of Egypt came, from people of a foreign name, then Judah was God’s holy home; in Israèl he set his throne. [Sing to the Lord 114]
2. The sea beheld and fled away; the Jordan’s waters stood at bay. The lofty mountains skipped like rams, and all the hills like little lambs.
3. O sea, why was it that you fled? O Jordan, that you backward sped? you mountains, that you skipped like rams, and all you hills, like little lambs?
4. O tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the face of Jacob’s God, who turned the rock into a pool; from flint there flowed the waters cool. Sing to the Lord 114 Projected with permission Text: Composite Tune: Robert Jackson, c. 1887
