Virtuous Heart for HIM

Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.” The Song of Moses and Miriam has been referred to as one of the oldest and most splendid natural anthems in the world. Whether Miriam composed the poem or not, we cannot tell. What we do know is that she wove the matchless, mighty ode of victory into the conscious life of the people.
Henry Van Dyke reminds us that, “The spirit and movement of the song are well expressed in the English verse of Thomas Moore’s paraphrase:”
Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt’s dark sea!
Jehovah has triumphed,—His people are free!
Sing—for the pride of the tyrant is broken;
His chariots, his horsemen, all splendid and brave,—
How vain was their boasting! the Lord hath but spoken,
And chariots and horsemen are sunk in the wave
