The background of this song is the exodus from Egypt. Once the Hebrews are across the Red Sea, and they see their enemies vanquished; Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, leads a group in praise and dance.
lyrics
The horse and the rider, have been thrown into the sea;
So Miriam sang with her sisters;
and beat on tambourines.
Shouts of joy in the desert; wind rattling through the trees; Dead Egyptians are floating; on the top of the reeds.
They do sing songs of joy; for He has triumphed gloriously; Dance, dance Hebrew nation; the land you will see.
An angel goes before you; to slay your enemies;
throughout the wilderness, a warrior he will be
(Bridge)
They do sing songs of joy; They do sing songs of joy
(Finale)
:Miriam dance with your sisters (Miriam dance won't you dance with your sisters:
