DELIVERANCE IN DANGER.
“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.”
—Exodus, xiv. 13.
A billowy deep before,
The tyrant's host behind them;
Could Israel but deplore
The seeming doom assign'd them?
The tyrant's host behind them;
Could Israel but deplore
The seeming doom assign'd them?
20
Yet brief was their command
In hour of tribulation,
Fear not! In silence stand,
And see your Lord's salvation.
In hour of tribulation,
Fear not! In silence stand,
And see your Lord's salvation.
They stood, and straightway saw
The deeps for them divided,
And follow'd on with awe
The cloud which safely guided.
The deeps for them divided,
And follow'd on with awe
The cloud which safely guided.
They stood, and saw the foe,
With tumult and commotion,
Whelm'd in the depths below,
And buried in the ocean.
With tumult and commotion,
Whelm'd in the depths below,
And buried in the ocean.
Tried follower of the Lamb,
In hour of dark temptation,
Trust in the dread I AM,
Wait for thy Lord's salvation.
In hour of dark temptation,
Trust in the dread I AM,
Wait for thy Lord's salvation.
Stand still! and thou shalt see,
As faith thine eye uncloses,
An Arm outstretch'd for thee
Stronger than that of Moses.
As faith thine eye uncloses,
An Arm outstretch'd for thee
Stronger than that of Moses.
