Egypt's First-born, of Man, and Beast, He smote, thro' all their Coast. His dreadful Signs and Wonders, sent On Pharaoh, and his Host. He many Nations, mighty Kings, Did, by his Pow'r, subdue. He, Sihon, King of th' Amorites, And Og, of Bashan, slew: He Canaan's num'rous Kingdoms smote, And freed from Tyrants Hands. An Heritage, to Isr'el's Tribes, He gave their fertile Lands. Thy Name, O Lord, by thy great Acts, Shall be forever known; And we'll transmit thy Name, and Praise, To future Ages down. The Lord, his People's Cause, will judge, Who now oppressed mourn; Will, for his Servants Sake, repent, And from his Anger turn.
