| The reedy river's flow | B |
| Came God's command Release O king | C |
| And let my people go | B |
| - | |
| The king's proud heart grew hard apace | D |
| He marked the suppliant throng | E |
| And said Nay they must here abide | A |
| The weak must serve the strong | E |
| - | |
| Straightway the Lord stretched forth his hand | F |
| And every stream ran blood | G |
| The river swept towards the sea | H |
| A full ensanguined flood | G |
| - | |
| The haughty king beheld the land | F |
| By plagues afflicted sore | I |
| But as God's wonders multiplied | A |
| Hardened his heart the more | I |
| - | |
| Until the angel of the Lord | J |
| Came on the wings of Night | K |
| And smote first born of man and beast | L |
| In his destructive flight | K |
| - | |
| Throughout all Egypt not a house | M |
| Was spared this crowning woe | B |
| Then broke the tyrant's stubborn will | N |
| He bade the people go | B |
| - | |
| They gathered up their flocks and herds | O |
| Rejoicing to be free | H |
| And going forth a mighty host | P |
| Encamped beside the sea | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| Then Pharaoh's heart repented him | Q |
| He called a mighty force | R |
| And swiftly followed on their track | S |
| With chariot and with horse | R |
| - | |
| Then Israel's host were sore afraid | T |
| But God was on their side | A |
| And lo for them a way is cleft | U |
| The Red sea waves divide | A |
| - | |
| At God's command the restless waves | V |
| Obey the prophet's rod | W |
| And through the middle of the sea | H |
| The people marched dry shod | W |
| - | |
| But when the spoilers following close | X |
| Would hinder Israel's flight | K |
| The waters to their course return | Y |
| The parted waves unite | K |
| - | |
| And Pharaoh's host is swept away | Z |
| The chariots and the horse | R |
| And not a man is left alive | A2 |
| Of all that mighty force | R |
| - | |
| So in these days God looks from heaven | B2 |
| And marks his servants' woe | B |
| Hear ye his voice Break every yoke | C2 |
| And let my people go | B |
| - | |
| For them the Red sea waves divide | A |
| The streams with crimson flow | B |
| Therefore we mourn for our first born | D2 |
| Then let the people go | B |
| - | |
| They are not weak whom God befriends | E2 |
| He makes their cause His own | F2 |
| And they who fight against God's might | K |
| Shall surely be o'erthrown | F2 |
