Author: Ronald A. Knox, 1888-1957 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #792 (2013) Meter: 7.4.7.4.6.7.4 First Line: Through the Red Sea brought at last Lyrics: 1 Through the Red Sea brought at last, alleluia!
Egypt's chains behind we cast, alleluia!
Deep and wide flows the tide
severing us from bondage past, alleluia!
2 Like the cloud that overhead, alleluia!
through the billows Israel led, alleluia!
By his tomb Christ makes room,
souls restoring from the dead, alleluia!
3 In that cloud and in that sea, alleluia!
Buried and baptized were we, alleluia!
Earthly night brought us light,
which is ours eternally, alleluia!
