Once I served as slave in Egypt, troubles faced unceasing,
By sin burdened oft in conscience, with no rest at hand,
How I yearned less bricks to burn, but burdens kept increasing—
Sad, I’d never heard of the beauteous land.

Praise to the Passover Lamb; praise for His blood’s redemption!
Baptized, freed from Egypt, in the wilderness to stand;
Wand’ring oft in circles, sometimes tempted, sometimes strengthened,
I lacked faith to enter the glorious land.
