When peaceful silence lay over all,
and night had run the half of her swift course,
down from the heavens, from the royal throne, leapt your all-powerful Word;
into the heart of a doomed land the stern warrior leapt.
Carrying your unambiguous command like a sharp sword,
he stood, and filled the universe with death;
he touched the sky, yet trod the earth.

For, to keep your children from all harm,
the whole creation, obedient to your commands,
was once more, and newly, fashioned in its nature.
Overshadowing the camp there was the cloud,
where water had been, dry land was seen to rise,
the Red Sea became an unimpeded way,
the tempestuous flood a green plain;
sheltered by your hand, the whole nation passed across,
gazing at these amazing miracles.
They were like horses at pasture,
they skipped like lambs,
singing your praises, Lord, their deliverer.

Remember the wonders the Lord has done.

O sing to him, sing his praise;
  tell all his wonderful works!
Be proud of his holy name,
  let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice.

Remember the wonders the Lord has done.

He struck all the first-born in their land,
  the finest flower of their sons.
He led out Israel with silver and gold.
  In his tribes were none who fell behind.

Remember the wonders the Lord has done.

For he remembered his holy word,
  which he gave to Abraham his servant.
So he brought out his people with joy,
  his chosen ones with shouts of rejoicing.

Remember the wonders the Lord has done.

Alleluia, alleluia!
Accept and submit to the word
which has been planted in you
and can save your souls.
Alleluia!
