LyicsIsrael the desert trod,
Sustained by power divine,
While wondrous mercy marked the road
With many a mystic sign,
While wondrous mercy marked the road
With many a mystic sign.
When Moses gave the stroke,
From Horeb's flinty side
Issued a river, and the rock
The Hebrew's thirst supplied.
But O what nobler themes
Does gospel grace afford!
From Calvary spring superior streams -
There hung the smitten Lord!
Of every hope bereft,
Sinners, to Jesus go;
Behold the Rock of Ages cleft,
And living currents flow.
Here may our spirits bathe,
Here may our joys abound!
Till (passed the wilderness and death)
We tread celestial ground!
