Poetry

---

Awake! Put on your strength. Awake!
Be alert! O arm of the Lord for His sake,
As in the days of generations long past,
When Rahab was cut in two on a blast.

It wounded the dragon being of the sea,
And drying up the water in front of me;
Allowing your chosen having a dry path,
Escape from the Pharaoh and his wrath.

All who have been made free shall sing,
With eternal joy and delight for to cling;
All grief and sorrow to be forever gone,
As the start a brand new day shall dawn.

Being poor in heart as to being in fear,
Shall end as the Son of man comes near;
For sometimes I think not of my Creator,
Knowing of no one that is even greater.

By whom as Heaven was stretched out,
And earth on its base without a doubt;
Continually fearing daily for the fury,
When we really have no need to worry.
