from depths of hell thy people save
and give them victory o'er the grave

and death's dark shadows put to flight

and open wide our heavenly home
make safe the way that leads on high
and close the path to misery

thou lord of might
who to thy tribes
on sinai's height
in ancient times did'st give the law
in cloud
and majesty and awe

o israel
