To grace those lines wch next appear to sightA
The Pencil shone with more abated lightA
Yet still ye pencil shone ye lines were fairB
awfull Moses stands recorded thereB
Lett his repleat with flames praise divineC
Lett his the first rememberd Song be mineC
Then rise my thought in thy Prophet findD
What Joy shoud warm thee for ye work designdD
To that great act which raisd his heart repairB
find a portion of his Spirit thereB
-
A Nation helpless unarmd I viewE
Whom strong revengefull troops of warr pursueE
Seas Stop their flight their camp must prove their graveF
Ah what can Save them God alone can saveF
Gods wondrous voice proclaims his high commandD
He bids their Leader wave the sacred wandD
where the billows flowd they flow no moreG
A road lyes naked they march it o'reH
Safe may the Sons of Jacob travell throughE
But why will Hardend gypt venture tooE
Vain in thy rage to think the waters fleeI
rise like walls on either hand for theeI
The night comes on the Season for surprizeE
Yet fear not Israel God directs thine eyesE
A fiery cloud I see thine Angel rideD
His Chariot is thy light he thy guideD
The day comes on half thy succours failJ
Yet fear not Israel God will still prevailJ
I see thine Angel from before thee goK
To make the wheeles of ventrous gypt slowK
His rolling cloud inwraps its beams of lightD
what supplyd thy day prolongs their nightD
At length the dangers of the deep are runL
The Further brink is past the bank is wonL
The Leader turns to view the foes behindD
Then waves his solemn wand within the windD
O Nation freed by wonders cease thy fearM
stand see the Lords salvation hereN
-
Ye tempests now from ev'ry corner flyO
wildly rage in all my fancyd SkyO
Roll on ye waters as ye rolld beforeG
Ye billows of my fancyd ocean roarG
Dash high ride foaming mingle all ye mainP
Tis don Pharaoh cant afflict againQ
The work the wondrous work of Freedomes donR
The winds abate the clouds restore ye SunL
The wreck appears the threatning army drowndD
Floats ore ye waves to strow the Sandy groundD
-
Then Place thy Moses near the calming floodD
Majestically mild serenely goodD
Lett Meekness Lovely virtue gently StreamS
Around his visage like a lambent flameT
Lett gratefull Sentiments lett Sense of loveU
Lett holy zeal within his bosome moveV
while his People gaze ye watry plainP
fears last touches like to doubt remainP
While bright astonishment that seems to raiseE
A questioning belief is fond to praiseE
Be thus the rapture in the Prophets breastD
Be thus the thankes for freedome gaind expresstD
-
-
Ile sing to God Ile Sing ye songs of praiseE
To God triumphant in his wondrous waysE
To God whose glorys in the Seas excellO
Where the proud horse prouder rider fellO
-
The Lord in mercy kind in Justice strongW
Is now my strength this Strength be now my songW
This sure salvation such he proves to meI
from danger rescu'd from bondage freeI
The Lords my God Ile prepare his seatD
My Fathers God Ile proclaim him greatD
Him Lord of Battles him renownd in nameT
Him ever faithfull evermore the sameT
-
His gracious aids avenge his peoples thrallO
They make the pride of boasting Pharaoh fallO
Within the Seas his stately Chariots lyO
Within the Seas his chosen Captains dyD
The rolling deeps have coverd o're the foeK
They sunk like stones they Swiftly sunk belowK
There O my God thine hand confessd thy careB
Thine hand was glorious in thy power thereB
It broke their troops unequall for the fightD
In all the greatness of excelling mightD
Thy wrath Sent forward on ye raging StreamS
Swift sure Sudden their destruction cameT
They fell as stubble burns while driving skysE
Provoke whirl a flame ruin fly'sE
-
When blasts dispatchd with wonderfull intentD
On soveraign orders from thy nostrills wentD
For our accounts the waters were affraidD
Perceivd thy presence together fledD
In heaps uprightly placd they learnd to standD
like banks of Christall by ye paths of sandD
Then fondly flushd with hope swelld with prideD
filld with rage the foe prophanely crydD
Secure of conquest Ile pursue their wayH
Ile overtake them Ile divide the preyH
My lust I'le Satisfy mine anger cloyO
My sword Ile brandish their name destroyO
How wildly threats their anger hark aboveU
New blasts of wind on new commission moveV
To loose the fetters that confind the mainP
make its mighty waters rage againQ
Then overwhelmd with irresistless SwayH
They Sunk like lead they sunk beneath the SeaE
-
O who like thee thou dreaded Lord of HostD
Among the Gods whom all the nations boastD
Such acts of wonder of Strength displaysE
O Great O Glorious in thine holy waysE
Deserving praise that thy praise appearM
In Signs of reverence Sence of fearM
With Justice armd thou stretcht thy powrfull handD
earth between its gaping Jaws of landD
Receivd its waters of the parted mainP
swallowd up the dark gyptian trainP
With mercy rising on the weaker SideD
Thy self became the rescud peoples guideD
in thy strength they past th' amazing roadD
To reach thine holy mount thy blessd abodeD
-
What thou hast don the neighb'ring realms shall hearN
feel the strange report excite their fearM
What thou hast don shall Edoms Dukes amazeE
make dispair on Palestina SeizeE
Shall make the warlike Sons of Moab ShakeX
all the melting hearts of Canaan weakY
In heavy damps diffusd on ev'ry breastD
Shall cold distrust hopeless Terrour restD
The matchless greatness which thine hand has shownZ
Shall keep their kingdomes as unmovd as stoneZ
While Jordan Stops above failes belowK
all thy flock across the Channel goK
Thus on thy mercys silver shining wingA2
Through seas streams thou wilt ye nation bringA2
as the rooted trees securely standD
So firmly plant it in the promisd landD
Where for thy self thou wilt a place prepareB
after ages will thine altar rearM
There reign victorious in thy Sacred SeatD
O Lord for ever for ever greatD
-
Look where the Tyrant was but lately seenB2
The Seas gave backward he venturd inC2
In yonder gulph with haughty pomp he showdD
Here marchd his horsemen there his chariots rodeD
when our God restord the floods againQ
Ah vainly strong they perishd in the mainP
But Israel went a dry surprizing wayH
Made safe by miracles amidst ye seaE
-
Here ceasd the Song tho' not ye Prophets JoyO
Which others hands others tongues employO
For still the lays with warmth divine expresstD
Inflamd his hearers to their inmost breastD
Then Miriams notes the Chorus sweetly raiseE
Miriams timbrel gives new life to praiseE
The moving sounds like Soft delicious windD
That breathd from Paradise a passage findD
Shed Sympathys for Odours as they roveD2
fan the risings of enkindled loveU
Ore all ye crowd the thought inspiring flewO
The women followd with their timbrells tooO
thus from Moses where his strains aroseE
They catchd a rapture to perform the closeE
-
We'le sing to God we'le sing ye songs of praiseE
To God triumphant in his wondrous waysE
To God whose glorys in ye Seas excellO
Where ye proud horse prouder rider fellO
-
Thus Israel rapturd wth ye pleasing thoughtD
Of Freedome wishd wonderfully gottD
Made chearfull thanks from evry bank reboundD
Expressd by songs improvd in Joy by soundD
-
O Sacred Moses each infusing lineC
That movd their gratitude was part of thineC
still the Christians in thy numbers viewO
The type of Baptism of Heaven tooO
So Soules from water rise to Grace belowO
So Saints from toil to praise glory goeO
-
O gratefull Miriam in thy temper wroughtD
too warm for Silence or inventing thoughtD
Thy part of anthem was to warble o'reH
In sweet response what Moses sung beforeG
Thou led the publick voice to Joyn his laysE
words redoubling well redoubled praiseE
Receive thy title Prophetess was thineC
When here thy Practice showd ye form divineC
The Spirit thus approvd resignd in willO
The Church bows down hears responses stillO
-
Nor slightly suffer tunefull Jubals nameT
To miss his place among ye Sons of FameT
Whose Sweet infusioE2
