HYMN 520. Jacob's safe Conduct. 1. METRE.

Psalm 114.

WHEN Israel Aegypts bounds forsook, and safely march'd along: And Jacob's house their journey took from people strange of tongue. [verse 2] In Judah was his holy place, in Israel he reign'd: [verse 3] The Sea saw that, and fled apace, and Jordan was restrain'd.

[verse 4] The Mountains like to Rams did start, the Hillocks as young Sheep: O Sea, what drove thee to depart? why fled the liquid deep? [verse 54] What forc'd thee (Jordan) on a heap, to rear thy water dams? [verse 65] Ye mountains great as Rams do leap, ye little Hills as Lambs?
Tremble O Earth, so justly aw'd at presence of the Lord: At presence of the mighty God, whom Jacob there ador'd. Who turns the Rock (that takes no dint) into a standing Pool: And flinty stones (the fiery flint) to Springs of water cool.
