Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#403

403. 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 to
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]
