Exod. xiv. 20. Why should believing Israel fear The tyrant with his armies near? In darkness wrapt we wait the day; And 'till the Lord his arm display, They cannot reach (for God is nigher) Or wound us thro' our wall of fire! "The Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians, c." Exod. xiv. 24, 25. O Almighty Lord, rebuke Our foes' outrageous boast, Thro' the fiery column look, And blast the murtherers' host; Force them, Jesus, to confess Jehovah doth for Israel fight; Then th' infernal powers oppress With everlasting night. "I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." Exod. xv. 1. In Moses's song the Lamb we proclaim: The praise doth belong to Jesus's name! Triumphantly glorious our Jesus hath been, And more than victorious o'er hell, earth, and sin. The world and its prince no longer are found; Our tyrannous sins are buried and drown'd, O'erwhelm'd by a motion of Moses's rod, And plung'd in the ocean of Jesus's blood!
