Text: | Go Down, Moses |
Tune: | 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]
