English poem
The Song of Moses and the Lamb. Rev. xv. 3
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
Israel, thy Tribute bring To GOD'S victorious Name; The Song of Moses sing, Of Moses and the Lamb: Improve his Lays ; The Theme exceeds, And nobler Deeds Demand our Praise.
The Prince of Hell arose With impious Rage and Pride, And 'midst our num'rous Foes Our feeble Pow'r defy'd; "I will o'ertake, "And I destroy, "My Hand with Joy "Shall force thee back".
Thy Hand, Almighty LORD, Thy trembling Israel saves; Thine unresisted Word Divides the threatning Waves: Thy Hosts pass o'er; The Foe o'erthrown Sinks like a Stone To rise no more.
Our Triumphs we prepare, And chearful Anthems raise; Jehovah's Arm made bare Demands immortal Praise; And while we sing, Ye Shores, proclaim His wondrous Name, Ye Desarts, ring.
Thro' all the Wilderness Thy Presence, LORD, shall lead; And bring us to the Place, Thy sov'reign Love decreed; Those blissful Plains, Where all around Hosannas sound, And Transport reigns.
