<p>In Chapter 40 of <em>Ivanhoe</em>, Scott introduces the hymn:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It was in the twilight of the day when her trial, if it could be called such, had taken place, that a low knock was heard at Rebecca&#8217;s prison-chamber. It disturbed not the inmate, who was then engaged in the evening prayer recommended by her religion, and which concluded with a hymn we have ventured thus to translate into English&#8230;</p>

<div class="lyrics">
<p>When Israel, of the Lord beloved,<br>
Out from the land of bondage came,<br>
Her father&#8217;s God before her moved,<br>
An awful Guide, in smoke and flame.</p>
<p>By day, along the astonished lands<br>
The cloudy pillar glided slow;<br>
By night, Arabia&#8217;s crimsoned sands<br>
Returned the fiery column&#8217;s glow.</p>
<p>Thus present still, though now unseen,<br>
When brightly shines the prosperous day,<br>
Be thoughts of Thee a cloudy screen,<br>
To temper the deceitful ray.</p>
<p>And O, when gathers on our path,<br>
In shade and storm, the frequent night,<br>
Be Thou, long suffering, slow to wrath,<br>
A burning and a shining light.</p>
