and they see no way out Of their dim.
culties. Then they cry 70 the Jordan
are delivered witha mighty deiivcrance'
and that without striking blow IN
their own defense. On the further SIDE
Of the Rcd sea they gather, while their
prosecutors arc struggling In the wa
tiers. and at last Pharaoh's hosts are no
more; for the floods have gone Over
them, and the horse and his rider have
forever persisted IN the sea- linen tney
