lyrics

All the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the wilderness of Sin,
After their journeys, commanded by the Lord
They pitched in Rephidim, and there was no water
And the people thirsted
For there was no water

And the Lord said unto Moses, go before the people
take with thee elders, and take thy rod
Take in thine hand thy rod, that smotest the river,
And here now in Horeb

Smite the rock,
and there shall come water
Smite the rock
that the people may drink.
I will stand
Before thee upon it;
and thou shalt smite the rock
And the waters shall gush
And the streams shall overflow

How great are his signs!
and how mighty are his wonders!
He claves the rocks in the wilderness
And gives us to drink

All the congregation of the children of Israel
Thirsted for some water, then the rock became a well
Come and see the works of God, make a joyful noise
Signs and wonders everywhere, let us raise our voice and

Smite the rock,
and there shall come water
Smite the rock
that the people may drink.
I will stand
Before thee upon it;
and thou shalt smite the rock
And the waters shall gush
And the streams shall overflow
