Lyrics

Sing, my soul, from bond­age free;
Israel’s God thy God will be.
In the dark and foamy sea,
Pharaoh’s host shall bur­ied be.

Refrain

Sing, my soul, from bond­age free;
Israel’s God thy God will be.

Sweets of sin—de­lu­sive dream!
Burning thirst and poi­son­ous stream.
Fount of Life, Thy streams out­pour,
Let me drink and thirst no more.

Refrain

Fainting on the des­ert way,
For my dai­ly bread I pray;
Bread of Life, Thy life I need,
Let me ever on Thee feed.
