Text:When Isr'el Egypt left

PCXIV. When Isr'el Egypt left

1 When Isr'el Egypt left,
and Jacob's family
Did from a barb'rous people there
march forth triumphantly;
2 Then Judah was ordain'd
to guard his holy place;
But the whole host of Israel
His choice dominion was.

3 The sea it saw, and fled;
and Jordan back did flow;
4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs
the hills leap'd to and fro.
5 Thou sea! what made thee fly?
thou Jordan-back to flow?
6 Ye mountains leap like rams? ye hills
like lambs leap to and fro?

7 Before the mighty Lord
tremble O earth for fear,
While the dread presence of the God
of Jacob doth appear!

8 Who made the solid rock
melt into pools below;
To springs of water turn'd the flint,
and made the flint to flow.
