The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#490

490. Go Down, Moses

1 When Israel was in Egypt's land,
Let my people go;
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.

Refrain:
Go down Moses,
'Way down in Egypt's land.
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go.

2 "Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said,
Let my people go;
"If not, I'll smite your firstborn dead,"
Let my people go. [Refrain]

3 No more shall they in bondage toil,
Let my people go;
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
