The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7509

7509. When Israel Out of Bondage Came

1. When Israel out of bondage came,
A sea before them lay;
My Lord reached down His mighty hand,
And rolled the sea away.

Refrain
Then forward still—’tis Jehovah’s will,
Though the billows dash and spray.
With a conq’ring tread we will push ahead;
He’ll roll the sea away.

2. Before me was a sea of sin,
So great I feared to pray;
My heart’s desire the Savior read,
And rolled the sea away. [Refrain]

3. When sorrows dark, like stormy waves,
Were dashing o’er my way,
Again the Lord in mercy came,
And rolled the sea away. [Refrain]

4. And when I reach the sea of death,
For needed grace I’ll pray;
I know the Lord will quickly come,
And roll the sea away. [Refrain]
