When Israel Out of Bondage Came

1. When Israel out of bondage came, A sea before them lay; My Lord reached down His mighty hand, And rolled the sea away. Refrain: Then forward still -'tis Jehovah's will, Though the billows dash and spray. With a conq'ring tread we will push ahead; He'll roll the sea away. 2. Before me was a sea of sin, So great I feared to pray; My heart's desire the Savior read, And rolled the sea away. [Refrain]: Then forward still—'tis Jehovah's will, Though the billows dash and spray. With a conq'ring tread we will push ahead; He’ll roll the sea away. 3. When sorrows dark, like stormy waves, Were dashing o'er my way, Again the Lord in mercy came, And rolled the sea away. [Refrain] Then forward still—'tis Jehovah's will, Though the billows dash and spray. With a conq'ring tread we will push ahead; He’ll roll the sea away. 4. And when I reach the sea of death, For needed grace I'll pray; I know the Lord will quickly come, And roll the sea away. [Refrain]
