LyicsSOUND the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea,
Jehovah has triumph'd his people are free;
Sing for the pride of the tyrant is broken,
His chariot, his horseman, all splendid and brave;
How vain was his boasting! the Lord hath but spoken,
And chariots and horseman have sunk in the wave.
Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea,
Jehovah has triumph'd, his people are free.
Praise to the conqueror, praise to the Lord.
His word was their arrow, his breath was their sword,
Who shall return to tell Egypt the story,
Of those she sent forth in the hour of her pride,
The Lord has look'd out from his pillar of glory,
And all her brave thousands are dash'd in the tide.
Praise to the conqueror, praise to the Lord,
His word was their arrow, his breath was their sword.
