Song of the Sea

Verse 1

I will sing to the Lord,

for He has triumphed gloriously;

the horse and its rider

He has thrown into the sea.

The Lord is my strength and my song,

and He has become my salvation;

this is my God, and I will praise Him,

my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

⸻

Verse 2

The Lord is a warrior;

the Lord is His name.

Pharaoh’s chariots and his army

He cast into the sea;

his chosen officers

were sunk in the Red Sea.

The deep waters covered them;

they went down into the depths like a stone.

⸻

Chorus

Your right hand, Lord,

glorious in power—

Your right hand, Lord,

shatters the enemy.

In the greatness of Your majesty

You overthrow those who rise against You;

You send out Your fury,

it consumes them like fire.

⸻

Verse 3

By the blast of Your breath

the waters piled up;

the floods stood up like a wall;

the depths gathered in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, “I will chase, I will overtake,

I will divide the spoil;

I will draw my sword—

my hand will destroy them.”

But You blew with Your wind;

the sea covered them;

they sank like lead

in the mighty waters.

⸻

Bridge

Who is like You, Lord, among the gods?

Who is like You—majestic in holiness,

awesome in glory, working wonders?

You stretched out Your hand,

and the earth swallowed them.

In Your love You lead

the people You redeemed;

in Your strength You guide them

to Your holy dwelling.

⸻

Verse 4

The nations hear and tremble;

anguish grips the people around.

Leaders are shaken,

the mighty are afraid;

all who live in the land melt away.

Fear and dread fall on them;

by the greatness of Your arm

they are still as stone—

until Your people pass by, Lord,

the people You purchased pass by.

⸻

Final Chorus

You will bring them in

and plant them on Your mountain—

the place You made for Your dwelling,

the sanctuary Your hands established.

The Lord reigns

forever and ever.

⸻

Outro

The Lord reigns

forever and ever.
