I will sing the Lord's high triumph

Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 15 Lyrics: 1 I will sing the Lord's high triumph, ruling earth and sky and sea; God, my strength, my song, my glory, my salvation now is he. Through the waters, through the waters, God has brought us liberty, God has brought us liberty. 2 By the storm and at the mountain grace and judgement both are shown; all who planned his people's ruin power divine has overthrown. Nations tremble, nations tremble; God has made his mercy known, God has made his mercy known. 3 Who is like the God of Israel, faithful, holy, throned above? Stretching out the arm of anger, yet he guides us by his love. To our homeland, to our homeland, God will see us safely move, God will see us safely move. 4 Praise our God, who in the thunder led a nation through the sea; praise the One whose blood released us from our deeper slavery. Alleluia, alleluia, Christ is risen: we are free; Christ is risen: we are free!
