But sinners still consumed are upon earth’s crust.130
The Red Sea waves, all raging by divine command,
The host of Israel knew; but Pharaoh’s armies drown’d.
The earth, again, wide gaping at Jehovah’s word,
Did Korah and his wealth devour; but Moses spared.[133]
In Jesu’s hand, warmed with his breath, the fictile clay
As living birds arose, spread wing, and flew away.[134]
Thy lauds and praises, too, breath from thy frame account.
Sincerity them vivifies; to heaven they mount.
The rock of Sion danced at sight of Moses’ God[135]
