In ancient days, when Israel's host In darkest bondage lay, The Mighty power of God was shown â He rolled the sea away,
He rolls the sea away, He rolls the sea away ; With Jesus ever near, no foe have I to fear â He rolls the sea away.
2. The waves of sin swept o'er my soul, Temptations held their sway, The Lord spoke peace, and pardon gave â He rolled the sea away.
3. Though doubts and fears obscure my path, With Jesus I will stay ; He'll keep me near His loving heart, And roll the sea away.
4. Lord Jesus, when in my last hour I face toward realms of day, Thy presence then shall pilot me, And roll the sea away.
