Page 298 - I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER I REMEMBER, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn ; He never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the night Had borne my breath away ! I remember, I remember...

Sound the loud timbrel o'er Egypt's dark sea ; Jehovah has triumph'd — his people are free.
