When Israel out of bondage came,
A sea before them lay;
The Lord reached down His mighty hand,
And rolled the sea away.
Refrain:
Then forward still, 'tis Jehovah's will,
Tho' the billows dash and spray;
With a conqu'ring tread, we will push ahead,
He'll roll the sea away.
Before me was a sea of sin,
So great, I feared to pray;
My heart's desire the Saviour read,
And rolled the sea away.
When sorrows dark, like stormy waves,
Were dashing o'er my way,
Again the Lord in mercy came,
And rolled the sea away.
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.
