Words: Henry Jeffreys Zelley, 1896.
Music: Henry Lake Gilmour, 1896
When Israel out of bondage came,
A sea before them lay;
My Lord reached down His mighty hand,
And rolled the sea away.
Refrain
Then forward still-'tis Jehovah's will,
Though the billows dash and spray.
With a conq'ring tread we will push ahead;
He'll roll the sea away.
Before me was a sea of sin,
So great I feared to pray;
My heart's desire the Savior read,
And rolled the sea away.
Refrain
When sorrows dark, like stormy waves,
Were dashing o'er my way,
Again the Lord in mercy came,
And rolled the sea away.
Refrain
And when I reach the sea of death,
For needed grace I'll pray;
I know the Lord will quickly come,
And roll the sea away.
Refrain
