:Hear Egypt's proud and haughty Pharoah As is in the original text. Pharaoh is the correct spelling.

:And set his chosen people Israel free?

:Hark! how the proud Assyrian monarch
:Defied the God of Israel's king!
:"Thy God whom thou trustest cannot save thee now;
:Bow thy neck to me and tribute bring!"
:But whose was the mighty Arm that slew his host,
:And turned the boaster back whence he came?
:And delivered his people from their dreaded foe,
:And magnified his great and holy Name?
::(Refrain)

:See now the Pow'rs of earth combining
:To resist the reign of God's dear Son!
:Yet fear taketh hold upon their mighty men,
:While the poor of earth in anguish groan.
:Ah! who shall destroy the proud oppressor's yoke,
:And deliver all the meek of the earth?
:And who shall establish them in righteousness,
:And turn their sorrow into songs and mirth?
::(Refrain)
