3 The sea looked and fled,

the Jordan turned back;

4 the mountains leaped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 4 The mountains skipped like rams, And the little hills like lambs. 5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; And ye little hills, like lambs?

3 The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way!

The water of the Jordan River turned away.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs!

5 What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?

What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

6 Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?

Why, hills, like lambs?

3 The sea saw it and fled;

Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

The little hills like lambs.

5 What ails you, O sea, that you fled?

O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?

O little hills, like lambs?

3 The Red Sea looked and ran away;

the Jordan River turned back.

4 The mountains danced like sheep

and the hills like little lambs.

5 Sea, why did you run away?

Jordan, why did you turn back?

6 Mountains, why did you dance like sheep?

Hills, why did you dance like little lambs?

3 The sea saw it, and fled;

The Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

The little hills like lambs.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;

Ye little hills, like lambs?

3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back; 4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. 5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?

3 The Red Sea looked at this and ran away. 

The Jordan River turned back. 

4 The mountains jumped like rams. 

The hills jumped like lambs. 

5 Red Sea, why did you run away? 

Jordan River, what made you turn back? 

6 Mountains, what made you jump like rams? 

Hills, what made you jump like lambs? 

3 The sea looked and fled;

the Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills, like lambs.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Jordan, that you turned back?

6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?

Hills, like lambs?

3 The sea looked and fled;

Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 Why is it, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

3 The sea looked and fled;

the Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 What’s with you, O sea, that you fled?

O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

3 The Red Sea saw him and parted.

The Jordan River stopped flowing.

4 The mountains leaped like rams.

The hills skipped like lambs.

5 Red Sea, why did you part?

Jordan River, why did you stop flowing?

6 Why did you mountains leap like rams?

Why did you hills skip like lambs?

3 The sea looked and fled;

The Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

The hills, like lambs.

5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?
