When Israel Out of Bondage Came

When Is­ra­el out of bond­age came

A sea be­fore them lay;

My Lord reached down His migh­ty hand

And rolled the sea away.

Then for­ward still—’tis Je­ho­vah’s will

Though the bil­lows dash and spray.

With a con­quer­ing tread we will push ahead;

He’ll roll the sea away.

Before me was a sea of sin

So great I feared to pray;

My heart’s de­sire the Sa­vior read

And rolled the sea away.

When sor­rows dark

like stor­my waves

Were dash­ing o’er my way

Again the Lord in mer­cy came

And rolled the sea away.

And when I reach the sea of death

For need­ed grace I’ll pray;

I know the Lord will quick­ly come

And roll the sea away.
