When Israel had from Egypt gone

When Israel had from Egypt gone

Published in 5 hymnals

Representative Text

1 When Israel had from Egypt gone,
Jacob from men of speech unknown;
then Judah was his holy place,
and his dominion Israel's race.
2 The sea, affrighted, saw and fled;
back Jordan driven was with dread;
the lofty mountains skipped like rams,
and all the little hills like lambs.

3 What ailed thee, that thou fledd'st, O sea?
Thou, Jordan, that thou back didst flee?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams?
and all ye little hills like lambs?
4 Earth, tremble, for the Lord is near:
before the God of Jacob, fear;
who from the rock did water bring,
and made the flint a water-spring.
