Religion
The Fifty-Fifth Chapter of Isaiah, Part 11
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740) · Osborn ed., vol. 1 (1868)
Religion
While through the sea by faith they past,
The sea retired at God's command,
The waves shrink back with trembling haste,
The waves a crystal barrier stand.
The' Egyptians, daring to pursue,
With horror found a watery grave;
Too late their want of faith they knew,
And sunk beneath the' o'erwhelming wave.
