Exodus 14:15: Forward! but whither shall we go

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Forward! but whither shall we go?
The desert is on either side,
Behind us the Egyptian foe,
Before, the interposing tide!
Yet while we Thy command obey,
Our road impassable pursue,
The ocean yields an open way.
And lets Thy ransom'd people through.
