When the waters divide, and they walk on dry land;

And the cloud that to Egypt is darkness all night,

To the children of Israel, is a bright shining light.

And now have the Hebrews all safely passed through

The Red Sea, which Pharaoh assaying to do

Is destroyed with his host, every one of them drowned,

Not a man saved alive, not a single man found

To return to lone Egypt, the sad news to bear

To the widows and orphans made desolate there.

But list! hear the rescued their glad voices raise,
