The power of God-Savior manifested itself in the first Passover, the departure from Egypt. The resurrection of Christ has touched the universe in a different way.
1Alleluia!
When Israel came out of Egypt,
the family of Jacob
from a people of foreign language,
2Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his possession.
3At his sight the sea fled
and the Jordan retreated;
4the mountains skipped like rams,
the hills frolicked like lambs.
5Why is it, sea, that you flee?
Jordan, that you turn back?
6Mountains, that you skip like rams?
Hills, that you frolic like lambs?
7Tremble, O earth, at your Master’s presence,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8who turned the rock into a stream,
and the flint into a spring.
