Let Jacob to his Maker sing,
And praise his great Redeeming King .
Call'd by a new, a gracious Name,
Let Israel loud his God proclaim.
He knows our souls in all their fears,
And gently wipes our falling tears ;
Forms trembling voices to a song,
And bids the feeble heart be strong.
Then let the rivers swell around,
And rising floods o'erflow the ground ;
Rivers and floods and seas divide,
And homage pay to Israel's Guide.
Then let the fires their rage display,
And flaming terrors bar the way :
Unburnt, unsinged, He leads them through,
And makes the flames refreshing too.
The fires but on their bonds shall prey :
The floods but wash their stains away ;
And Grace Divine new trophies raise
Amidst the deluge and the blaze.
