[Forward! but whither shall we go?]
Speak unto the children of Israel, &c.
—xiv. 15.
Forward! but whither shall we go?
The desert is on either side,
Behind us the Egyptian foe,
Before, the interposing tide!
Yet while we Thy command obey,
Our road impassable pursue,
The ocean yields an open way,
And lets Thy ransom'd people through.
