The Red Sea he asunder clave; His Mercy still prevails. And Isr'el Passage thro' it gave; His Mercy never fails. But Pharaoh's Host, with Seas, o'er spread; His Mercy lasts always. His People, thro' the Desert, led; His Mercy ne'er decays. To him who did great Monarchs smite; His Mercy shall endure. And slew Kings, famous for their Might; His Mercy's ever sure. Sihon, who th' Am'rites Sceptre sway'd; His Mercy still prevails. And Og, whom Bashan's Towns obey'd; His Mercy never fails. For Heritage, he gave their Lands; His Mercy lasts always. Into his Servants Isr'el's Hands; His Mercy ne'er decays. Who thought on us, when we were low; His Mercy shall endure. And us redeemed from the Foe. His Mercy's ever sure. Who to all Flesh their Food conveys; His Mercy still prevails. The God of Heav'n, O therefore, praise; His Mercy never fails.
