Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P114a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went,
and did his dwelling change,
when Jacob’s house went out from those
that were of language strange,
2 Judah became his holy place,
Israel his own domain;
3 the sea beheld, and quickly fled,
Jordan turned back again.
4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs
the hills skipped to and fro.
5 O sea, why fledd’st thou? Jordan, back
why wast thou driven so?
6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it
that ye did skip like rams?
And wherefore was it, little hills,
that ye did leap like lambs?
7 O at the presence of the Lord,
earth, tremble thou for fear,
what time the presence of the God
of Jacob doth appear:
8 who in the desert from the rock
did pools of water bring;
and by his power did turn the flint
into a water-spring. Scripture: Psalm 114 Languages: English Tune Title: CORONA
