Page 46 "The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation." Exod. xv. 2. The Lord is my might: redeem'd by his grace, I pay him his right, I sing of his praise: Our Lord's habitation, in us he shall dwell, And all his salvation to sinners reveal. "Pharaoh's chariots and his host are drowned in the Red Sea." Exod. xv. 4. Our sins are o'erthrown, which rose against thee, They sank as a stone into the Red Sea: Thou, Lord, hast forgot 'em, as hid from thine eyes, And sunk to the bottom they never shall rise. "The Lord shall reign forever, and ever." Exod. xv. 18. The Lord is King 'till that great day, When all his foes are slain: When heaven and earth are past away, He shall forever reign: And we shall by his side sit down, His praises to repeat, Or cast our crowns before the throne, And wonder at his feet. "The Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet." Exod. xv. 25. The Lord hath to his servants shewn The tree on which our Saviour died, Its virtue in our souls made known, Its bleeding balm, by faith applied, Converts our nature's bitterness To sweetest streams of heavenly grace.
