Then comes a song of hope for the Israelites:

O Moses, a cloud shall cleave the way,

A fire by night, a shade by day.

You’ll not get lost in the wilderness

With a lighted candle in your breast.

A general application follows:

O let us all from bondage flee,

And let us all in Christ be free.

We need not always weep and moan

And wear these slavery chains forlorn.
