1.When Isr'el out of Egypt went,
and did his dwelling change,
When Jacob's house went out from those
that were of language strange,

2.He Judah did his sanctuary,
his kingdom Isr'el make:
The sea it saw, and quickly fled,
Jordan was driven back.

3.Like rams the mountains, and like lambs
the hills skipped to and fro.
O sea, why fledd'st thou? Jordan, back
why wast thou driven so?

4.Ye mountains great, wherefore was it
that ye did skip like rams?
And wherefore was it, little hills,
that ye did leap like lambs?

5.O at the presence of the Lord,
earth, tremble thou for fear,
While as the presence of the God
of Jacob doth appear:

6.Who from the hard and stony rock
did standing water bring;
And by his pow'r did turn the flint
into a water-spring.
