When Israel came out of Egypt (Psalm 114) [Psalm 114]
words and music: © Irene Bom
1. When Israel came out of Egypt
Jacob from the land of foreign tongue
Judah became God's sanctuary
and Israel became his dominion
Israel became his dominion.
2. The Red Sea saw and retreated
Jordan took to flight and ran away
Mountains began to leap like rams
and hills danced for joy like the spring lambs
Hills danced for joy like the spring lambs.
3. O Rea Sea, why did you turn back?
Jordan, tell me why you ran away.
Mountains, why did you leap like rams?
And hills, tell me why you were dancing
hills, tell me why you were dancing
4. O tremble, earth, in God's presence
Tremble when the God of Jacob comes
Hard rock becomes a bubbling pool
as God brings forth water from flint stone
God brings forth water from flint stone
5. Sing glory to God the Father
Glory to the Christ, his only Son
Glory to God the Holy Spirit
Glory, sing glory to God
Glory, sing glory to God
