"Flowing with honey is the promised land;
Flowing with honey is the promised land.
Where our God shall lead us, we will go.
O hasten to the promised land!"
Chorus: As before.
Aaron: Men of Israel, before us stretches the Red Sea water; here we will make our camp.
Miriam (clutching his arm): O Aaron, look! Behind us see the shining spears! Behind us cometh Pharaoh and his hosts. Where now is Moses?
An Israelite: And before, stretches the Red Sea water. How may we cross? Where now is Moses?
Another Israelite: We shall be brought to Egypt again as slaves. Where now is Moses?
(Moses pushes his way through the people.)
Aaron and Others: O Moses, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
Another Israelite: It were better for us to serve in the land of Egypt, than that we die here in the wilderness.
Moses: Fear ye not. Stand still and see the salvation of your God. For the Egyptians which ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them no more forever. (He stretches out his rod.)
