by John Newton, When Israel was from Egypt freed
“ The way was right their hearts to prove, To make GOD'S glory known; And show his wisdom, pow'r and love, Engaged to save his own. Just so the true believer's path Through many dangers lies; Though dark to sense, 'tis right to faith, And leads us to the skies. ”
by John Newton, When Israel was from Egypt freed
“ When the Red Sea their passage stopped, And Pharaoh marched behind. The desert filled them with alarms, For water and for food; And Amalek, by force of arms, To check their progress stood. They often murmured by the way, Because they judged by sight; But were at length constrained to say, The Lord had led them right. In the Red Sea that stopped them first, Their enemies were drowned; The rocks gave water for their thirst, And Manna spread the ground. ”
