GOD calling his Israel by Name, and leading them thro' Water and Fire. Isa. xliii. 1, 2

Let Jacob to his Maker sing, And praise his great redeeming King; Call'd by a new, a gracious Name, Let Israel loud his GOD proclaim.

He knows our Souls in all their Fears, And gently wipes our falling Tears, Forms trembling Voices to a Song, And bids the feeble Heart be strong.

Then let the Rivers swell around, And rising Floods o'erflow the Ground; Rivers and Floods and Seas divide, And Homage pay to Israel's Guide.

Then let the Fires their Rage display, And flaming Terrors bar the Way; Unburnt, unsing'd he leads them thro', And makes the Flames refreshing too.

The Fires but on their Bonds shall prey , The Floods but wash their Stains away, And Grace divine new Trophies raise Amidst the Deluge, and the Blaze.
