Exodus 14:20: The one came not near the other all the night

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Why should believing Israel fear
The tyrant with his armies near?
In darkness wrapp'd we wait the day:
And till the Lord His arm display,
They cannot reach (for God is nigher)
Or wound us through our 'all of Fire!
