264. Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea

1 Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea,
Jehovah hath triumphed, his people are free;
Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea,
Jehovah hath triumphed, his people are free;
Sing for the pride of the tyrant is broken:
His chariots and horsemen, all splendid and brave;
How vain was their boasting! the Lord hath but spoken,
And chariots and horsemen are sunk in the wave.
His people are free, His people are free.

2 Praise to the conqueror, praise to the Lord;
His word was our arrow, his breath was our word;
Praise to the conqueror, praise to the Lord;
His word was our arrow, his breath was our word;
Who shall return to tell Egypt the story
Of those she sent forth in the hour of her glory;
The Lord hath looked out from his pillar of glory,
And all her brave thousands are dashed in the tide.
His people are free, His people are free.
