Lyrics:
Where are the Hebrew children?
Where are the Hebrew children?
Safe in. the promised land.
Tho' the furnace flamed around them,
God, while in their troubles, found them;
He with love and mercy bound them,
Safe in the promised land.
​Where are the twelve apostles?
Where are the twelve apostles?
Safe in the promised land.
They went up thro' pain and sighing.
Scoffing, scourging, crucifying,
Nobly for their Master dying,
Safe in the promised land.
​Where are the holy Christians?
Where are the holy Christians?
Safe in the promised land.
Those who're washed in their robes
and made them white and spotless pure
and laid them where no earthly stain can fade them,
Safe in the promised land.
Where are the Hebrew children?
Where are the Hebrew children?
Safe in the promised land.
