Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJHHHKLML MHNHHEHEOHHPQP| When Israel by Jehovah call'd | A |
| From Egypt's hostile plain | B |
| Pour'd forth in numbers as the Sand | C |
| And sought the adjacent main | B |
| Then God descended from on high | D |
| To lead the favour'd Race | E |
| To rule o'er Jacob his Name | F |
| In Judah's Tribe to place | E |
| The Sea at their approach alarm'd | G |
| In wild amazement fled | H |
| And Jordan's flood was driven back | I |
| Within it's fountainhead | H |
| The Mountains from their basis shook | J |
| Confess'd the Parent God | H |
| With sudden throws like Rams they skipp'd | H |
| And broken fell abroad | H |
| The little Hills by the same power | K |
| Were from their Center torn | L |
| Like Lambs resistless they gave way | M |
| In Tumult wild upborn | L |
| Ye Waves what strange amazement say | M |
| Seiz'd on you that you fled | H |
| Thou Jordan too On Israel's march | N |
| Why driven to thy Head | H |
| Ye Mountains whence this sudden fright | H |
| That shook you from your base | E |
| And whence ye little Hills your flight | H |
| From Israel's chosen Race | E |
| Tremble thou Earth Jehovah leads | O |
| And guards the might Host | H |
| That God who by his awful Word | H |
| Commands the Stream to flow | P |
| From flinty Rocks pouring thence | Q |
| To form the Lake below | P |
