1. When Isr'el out of Egypt went,and did his dwelling change,When Jacob's house went out from thosethat were of language strange,
2. He Judah did his sanctuary,his kingdom Isr'el make:
3. The sea it saw, and quickly fled,Jordan was driven back.
4. Like rams the mountains, and like lambsthe hills skipp'd to and fro.
5. O sea, why fledd'st thou? Jordan, backwhy wast thou driven so?
6. Ye mountains great, wherefore was itthat ye did skip like rams?And wherefore was it, little hills,that ye did leap like lambs?
7. O at the presence of the Lord,earth, tremble thou for fear,While as the presence of the Godof Jacob doth appear:
8. Who from the hard and stony rockdid standing water bring;And by his pow'r did turn the flintinto a water-spring.
