Awake as in those ancient daies,
and in the time of old.
Didst thou not lay all Egypt low,
and that fell Dragon wound?
Dry'd••t Thou not up the Seas that flow
with Waters most profound?
Didst Thou not in those mighty deeps
a plainer path discover?
And for the ransom'd of the Lord
make way for getting over?
Therefore shall God's redeem'd return
with Songs to Sion hill,
And endless joy crown them that mourn
while Songs their mouths do fill.
They shall obtain abundant joy
and gladness in that day,
Sorrow and sadness utterly
shall hast, and flee away.
The God of Israel therefore
renown'd and honour'd be,
From first to last for evermore,
Amen, Amen say we.
