When Israel out of Egypt went,
From people of a speech unknown,
The Lord among His people dwelt,
And there He set his royal throne.
The sea beheld and fled away,
The Jordan�s waters backward turned,
The lofty mountains and the hills
With trembling awe our God discerned.
What aileth thee, O troubled sea?
Thou Jordan, why thy riven tide?
Ye mountains and ye little hills,
Why thus dismayed on every side?
O tremble, earth, before the Lord,
In presence of Jehovah fear,
Beneath Whose touch the flinty rock
Became a fount of water clear.
