Tune: Darwalls 148th
('Ye holy angels bright')
Exodus 15 v.1-6
********
Moses and Israel
This song they sang, did tell
Of their exodus, they
From Egypt were that day
Released and sang, I will sing to
The LORD, give praises not a few
For He gloriously
Has triumphed here now see
The horse and his rider
He has thrown in sea sure
The LORD is my strength and my song
He my salvation all life long
He my God, I will praise
Him, to Him worship raise
And God of our fathers
Still help on us confers
The LORD He be a man of war
Brings righteous judgements from His store
For Pharaoh's chariots
And army pursued us
But the LORD He did cast
Enemies there at last
Into Red Sea, there they be drowned
Not one remaining living found
The deeps did them cover
No hope of recover
They sank in the sea, they
Were defeated that day
The LORD did show His great power
Revealed His glory in that hour
