Tremble, O earth, at His command (Psalm 114) Lyrics

When Israel came out of Egypt

The house of Jacob, freed at last

From a land where strangers whispered

To the promise of the past

Judah became His sanctuary

Israel, His kingdom strong

The Red Sea saw and turned to flee

The Jordan River's flow was gone

What ails you, O Red Sea, that you flee?

O Jordan River, why turn back from me?

Mountains skipped like rams in flight

The little hills danced in the light

Tremble, O earth, at His command

The God of Jacob, firm and grand

Who turned the rock to pools of grace

The flint to waters in this place

The mountains leapt with joyful might

The hills like lambs in pure delight

What ails you, O Red Sea, that you flee?

O Jordan River, why turn back from me?

Judah became His sanctuary

Israel, His kingdom strong

The Red Sea saw and turned to flee

The Jordan River's flow was gone

What ails you, O Red Sea, that you flee?

O Jordan River, why turn back from me?

Mountains skipped like rams in flight

The little hills danced in the light

Tremble, O earth, at His command

The God of Jacob, firm and grand

Who turned the rock to pools of grace

The flint to waters in this place

Tremble, O earth, at His great power

The God of Jacob, our strong tower

Who made the rocks give life anew

Who splits the stone and brings the dew

What ails you, O Red Sea, that you flee?

O Jordan River, why turn back from me?

Mountains skipped like rams in flight

The little hills danced in the light

Tremble, O earth, at His command

The God of Jacob, firm and grand

Who turned the rock to pools of grace

The flint to waters in this place

Tremble, O earth, at His great power

The God of Jacob, our delight

Who turned the rock to pools of grace

The flint to waters in this place.
