The Song of Moses
 
1. When Pharoah and his army came,
Horse and chariot, prince and slave,
His spear and bowmen, all of fame,
Hurried down to dare the wave.
Helmets gleam'd, trumpets sounded:
Grief and joy rose confounded:
Horses pranc'd, chariots jump'd and bounded. 
 
2. All night their horses onward spurr'd:
On they came with scoff and boast:
Till God look'd down, and wrath was pour'd 
On the bravest of their host.
Then the strong met the Stronger;
Vengeance then slept no longer;
Then the Wrong'd triumph'd o'er the wronger. 
 
3. True Moses of the Christian band;
Your renown and hard-won fame,
When on the cross, by mighty hand,
Sin and death were brought to shame:
Victor o'er pow'rs internal,
King amidst foes infernal,
Lead us on, up to joys eternal.
