His faithful servant Moses then,
and Aaron whom he chose,
He did command to go to them
his message to disclose.
His wonderful and mighty signs
among them they did show,
And wonders in the land of Ham
then did they work also:
Darkness he sent, and made it dark
instead of brighter day;
And his commission and his word
they did not disobey.
He turned their waters into blood,
their fish also did slay;
Their land brought frogs e'en in the place
where their king Pharaoh lay.
He spake, and at his voice there came
great swarms of noisome flies;
And all the quarters of their land
were filled with crawling lice.
He gave them cold and stony hail
instead of milder rain;
And fiery flames within their land
he sent unto their pain:
He smote their vines, and all their trees
whereon the figs did grow;
And all the trees within their coasts
also did overthrow:
He spake, then caterpillars did
and grasshoppers abound;
Eating the grass in all their land,
and fruit of all their ground.
