CCCLVII. The Song of Moses and the Lamb.

ISRAEL, thy Tribute bring
To GOD'S victorious Name;
The Song of Moses sing,
Of Moses and the Lamb:
Improve his Lays ;
The Theme exceeds,
And nobler Deeds
Demand our Praise.

The Prince of Hell arose
With impious Rage and Pride,
And 'midst our num'rous Foes
Our feeble Pow'r defy'd;
"I will o'ertake,
"And I destroy,
"My Hand with Joy
"Shall force thee back".

Thy Hand, Almighty LORD,
Thy trembling Israel saves;
Thine unresisted Word
Divides the threatning Waves:
Thy Hosts pass o'er;
The Foe o'erthrown
Sinks like a Stone
To rise no more.

Our Triumphs we prepare,
And chearful Anthems raise;
Jehovah's Arm made bare
Demands immortal Praise;
And while we sing,
Ye Shores, proclaim
His wondrous Name,
Ye Desarts, ring.

Thro' all the Wilderness
Thy Presence, LORD, shall lead;
And bring us to the Place,
Thy sov'reign Love decreed;
Those blissful Plains,
Where all around
Hosannas sound,
And Transport reigns.
