Song of the Sea
Captive Israel is redeemed
From one much stronger than he
Mighty army bearing down
Horse and rider
Thrown into the sea.
Miriam raises her hands,
Whirls to the timbrel beat.
Come, oh daughters of Israel,
Jubilantly
Jump to your feet!
For the L-rd is triumphant,
Glorious in His victory.
The enemy and their gods are fallen,
Tumbling beneath the walls
Of the crashing sea!
Rise up, rise up, oh Israel,
Dance and sing your joyous praise.
Herein dwells your Redeemer,
L-rd of Hosts
Ancient of Days!
~Miriam~
