<p class="poem"><span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_125" id="Page_125">[125]</SPAN></span>
Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea!<br/>
Jehovah has triumphed—His people are free!<br/>
Sing!—for the pride of the tyrant is broken:<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">His chariots, his horsemen, all splendid and brave,—</span><br/>
How vain was their boasting!—the Lord hath but spoken,<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And chariots and horsemen are sunk in the wave.</span><br/>
Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea!<br/>
Jehovah has triumphed—His people are free!<br/>
<br/>
Praise to the Conqueror, praise to the Lord!<br/>
His word was our arrow, His breath was our sword!<br/>
Who shall return to tell Egypt the story<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Of those she sent forth in the hour of her pride?</span><br/>
For the Lord hath looked out from his pillar of glory,<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And all her brave thousands are dashed in the tide.</span><br/>
Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea:<br/>
Jehovah has triumphed—His people are free!<br/>
<br/>
