HYMN 505. (4. PART.)
Argument.
Israel in Aegypt harbour'd: then oppres'd:
Moses sent in: and plagues their Land infest.
[verse 23] THEN Israel into Egypt came,
and Jacob's houshold there found place
To sojourn in the Land of Ham,
[verse 24] and there they multiply'd apace.
He made them stronger than their foes,
[verse 25] and of their foes to be abhorr'd,
And subtilly they dealt with those
the faithfull servants of the Lord.
[verse 26] He sent his servant Moses then,
and Aaron his own chosen man,
[verse 27] They shew'd his signs among those men,
and wonders in the Land of Ham.
[verse 28] A darkness he among them sent,
and it was dark, that none could see;
These were not disobedient
unto the word of his decree.
