[ Featuring Scottish Festival Singers ]
Now Israel may say and that in truth
If that the Lord had not our right maintained
If that the Lord had not with us remained
When cruel men against us rose to strive
We surely had been swallowed up alive
Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose
The swelling tide had o'er us spread its wave
The raging stream had then become our grave
The surging flood, and proudly swelling roll
Most surely then had overwhelmed our soul
Blessed be the Lord Who made us not their prey
As from the snare a bird escapeth free
Their net is rent and so escaped are we
Our only help is in Jehovah's name
Who made the earth and all the heav'nly frame
