When Israel, of the Lord Beloved (EN 106)

EN 106 When Israel, of the Lord Beloved

Exod.13.21

Versi Version 1

1

When Israel, of the Lord beloved,

Out from the land of bondage came,

Her father’s God before her moved,

An awful Guide, in smoke and flame.

2

The rose the choral hymn of praise,

And trump and timbrel answered keen,

And Zion’s daughters poured their lays,

With priest’s and warrior’s voice between.

3

By day, along th’astonished lands

The cloudy pillar glided slow;

By night, Arabia’s crimsoned sands

Returned the fiery column’s glow.

4

Thus present still, though now unseen,

When brightly shines the prosperous day,

Be thoughts of Thee a cloudy screen,

To temper the deceitful ray.

5

And O, when gathers on our path,

In shade and storm, the frequent night,

Be Thou, long suffering, slow to wrath,

A burning and a shining light.
