10Who Egypt's first-born kill'd outright:
for his grace faileth never.
11And Isr'el brought from Egypt land:
for mercy hath he ever.
12With stretch'd-out arm, and with strong hand:
for his grace faileth never.
13By whom the Red sea parted was:
for mercy hath he ever.
14And through its midst made Isr'el pass:

22His servant Isr'el right he gave:
for his grace faileth never.
23In our low state who on us thought:
for he hath mercy ever.
24And from our foes our freedom wrought:
for his grace faileth never.
25Who doth all flesh with food relieve:
for he hath mercy ever.
26Thanks to the God of heaven give:
for his grace faileth never.
