ISRAEL'S MARCH-WORD.

[From “Hymns to our King,” by Rev. John M. Leavitt, published by T. Whittaker.]
Forward! God’s majestic cloud Flames grandly in the sea. Forward! Egypt, fierce and proud, Clanks chains behind the free.
Forward! waves, like mountain-walls, Stand towering by the way. Forward! when Jehovah calls, ’Tis madness to delay.
Forward! where yon guiding glow Moves through the parted deep, Pharaoh shall lie buried low— In death his minions sleep!
Forward! in that mystic fire Jehovah makes his shrine; Forward! neither stop nor tire, And what is best is thine.
Forward! over rocks and foes Where smiles thy promised rest! Milk there with the honey flows, And there the grape is press’d.
Forward! Heaven’s own fire shall die, And Heaven’s own manna cease; But Jehovah, thy supply, Thy bread, and light, and peace!
