When the overwhelming waters

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #235 (1854) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: When the overwhelming waters Once a world of sinners drown'd, Eight of Adam's sons and daughters, In the Ark salvation found: Gather'd to the Church, may we Thus from wrath and peril flee. When the fire from God descended On the cities of the plain, Three alone, by Heaven befriended, Refuge did in Zoar gain: By our pastors led, may we Thus escape to Calvary. When the midnight angel number'd Egypt's first-born with the dead, Israel's tribes, unsmitten slumber'd, Where the paschal lamb had bled: By the blood of sprinkling, we Thus from vengeance are made free. When, while quick and dead assemble, Flames this universe destroy, Though the wicked quake and tremble, Saints shall lift their heads with joy: Raised to life, like them, may we With the Lord for ever be.

When The Overwhelming Waters

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16406 First Line: When the ov­er­whelm­ing wa­ters Lyrics: 1 When the ov­er­whelm­ing wa­ters Once a world of sin­ners drowned, Eight of Ad­am’s sons and daugh­ters In the Ark sal­va­tion found: Gathered to the Church, may we Thus from wrath and per­il flee. 2 When the fire from God des­cend­ed On the ci­ties of the plain, Three alone, by Heav’n be­friend­ed, Refuge did in Zo­ar gain: By our pa­stors led, may we Thus es­cape to Cal­va­ry. 3 When the mid­night angel num­bered Egypt’s first­born with the dead, Israel’s tribes, un­smit­ten, slumbered, Where the pas­chal lamb had bled: By the blood of sprink­ling, we Thus from ven­geance are made free. 4 When, while quick and dead as­sem­ble, Flames this uni­verse de­stroy, Though the wick­ed quake and trem­ble, Saints shall lift their heads with joy: Raised to life, like them, may we With the Lord for ev­er be.
