Hymnal 2:194

【Song Of The Red Sea】

2. Lord, I treasure the years of copious journey,

Walking with You through floods, flames and valleys.

Your words of grace have nourished, enlivened my soul,

Make my faith strong and boastful to the end.

Your loving hand leads me to go through each distress.

My tears and laughters in Your sight are precious.

Lord, I give thanks for Your favour and tenderness,

Your presence with me is my sweetest sweetness.

3. When I think of the task ahead yet to be done,

Lord, You know well the path I have to tread.

Thousands of souls, hopeless and lost, are waiting,

May Your great love make me firmly go forth.

Lord, hold my hand tight as I run my course ahead,

In lands of joy, o'er mountains and swift rivers.

Bright days or dark, our hearts are drawn closely as one,

Rejoice till the day I see You face to face.

【Psalm‬ ‭124‬:‭1‬-‭8‬】

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—

let Israel now say—

2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
