---

   1. Thou art the God that wonders do'st
         by thy right hand most strong:
      Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declared
         the nations among.
      To thine own people with thine arm
         thou didst redemption bring;
      To Jacob's sons, and to the tribes
         of Joseph that do spring.

   2. The waters, Lord, perceivèd thee,
         the waters saw thee well;
      And they for fear aside did flee;
         the depths on trembling fell.
      The clouds in water forth were poured,
         sound loudly did the sky;
      And swiftly through the world abroad
         thine arrows fierce did fly.

   3. Thy thunder's voice alongst the heav'n
         a mighty noise did make;
      By lightnings lightened was the world,
         th' earth tremble did and shake.
      Thy way is in the sea, and in
         the waters great thy path;
      Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord;
         none knowledge thereof hath.

   4. Thy people thou didst safely lead,
         like to a flock of sheep;
      By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou
         didst them conduct and keep.
