Sing To Adonai (Song of the Sea Version)
With tambourines we take our stand
Delivered by His mighty hand
The waves rose high the path was dry
We crossed beneath the morning sky
Sing to Adonai for He is highly exalted
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea
Glory to the One whose name is lifted holy
He fights for His people and He sets the captives free
He shattered chains we thought would stay
And led us through the deep dry way
The chariots sank in watery flame
But we walked out and praised His name
Sing to Adonai for He is highly exalted
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea
Glory to the One whose name is lifted holy
He fights for His people and He sets the captives free
Let every voice and heart arise
To praise the Lord who hears our cries
With joy we dance on freedom's shore
He is our strength forevermore
Sing to Adonai for He is highly exalted
The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea
Glory to the One whose name is lifted holy
He fights for His people and He sets the captives free
Yes He fights for His people and He sets the captives free
“Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD. They said: I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously; Horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.”

1Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD. They said: I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously; Horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.
2The LORD is my strength and might; He is become my deliverance. This is my God and I will enshrine Him; The God of my father, and I will exalt Him.
3The LORD, the Warrior— LORD is His name!
4Pharaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea; And the pick of his officers Are drowned in the Sea of Reeds.
5The deeps covered them; They went down into the depths like a stone.
6Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power, Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the foe!
7In Your great triumph You break Your opponents; You send forth Your fury, it consumes them like straw.
8At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up, The floods stood straight like a wall; The deeps froze in the heart of the sea.
9The foe said, “I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall have its fill of them. I will bare my sword— My hand shall subdue them.”
10You made Your wind blow, the sea covered them; They sank like lead in the majestic waters.
11Who is like You, O LORD, among the celestials; Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in splendor, working wonders!
