Translation

"Out of Egypt" - called of God!

(All its curse and bondage gone;)

Israel takes the Canaan-road,

There to serve and dwell alone.

Desert-gifts bestrew the way,

Comforting with staff and rod,

Fire by night and cloud by day,

Living streams and bread of God.

Jordan cleaves its judgment-sea,

Driven back at God's command;

Over - on to Gilgal, free -

Israel conquers Canaan's land.

Forward, through the great highway,

Jesus leads His pilgrim-race,

Keeping rank, with bright array,

Purged by Gilgal's power and grace.

There reproach is rolled away,

Dead and buried through His love;

There the resurrection lay

Wakes and waits the song above.

Dead with Christ, by faith we rise

Far above the bounds of space;

There in Him, above the skies,

Seated in the heavenly place.

Quenched is every judgment claim -

Quenched by water and by blood,

By one offering of the Lamb -

Priceless, spotless Lamb of God.

Soon with Him in yonder sky,

There enraptured round the throne,

Saints will shout the victory,

"Thou art worthy, Thou alone."
