HYMN 521. Jacob's safe Conduct from Aegypt. 2. METRE.
Ye Children, &c.
Psalm 114.
WHEN Israel out of Aegypt went,And Jacob's house with great content,From them that us'd a tongue unknown:Judah was then (when thus restor'd)The Sanctuary of the Lord,And Israel his Dominion.
The Sea saw that, and quickly fled,And Jordan to his fountain-headWas quickly turned back again:The frighted Mountains skip'd like Rams,The little Hills, like little Lambs,Such awfull terrour did constrain.
descriptionPage 615
What ail'd thee, O thou Sea to fly?O Jordan, what so hastilyDid force thy fleeting current back?Ye Mountains that ye skip'd like Rams?Ye little Hills, like little Lambs?Some cause cumpulsive could not lack.
Tremble O Earth, and quake for fearWhen God in presence doth appear,The mighty God, Of Jacob's Race:Who made the Rock a standing pool,And fiery Flint a Fountain cool,For Israel in the Desart place.
