when israel out of bondage

When Israel out of bondage came,

a sea before them lay;

the 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 Saviour 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.
