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 land,
Tell ol' Pharaoh,
let my people go.
2 The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go;
To lead the children of Israel through,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
3 As Israel stood by the water side,
Let my people go;
At God's command it did divide,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
4 When they had reached the other shore,
Let my people go;
They sang the song of triumph o'er,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
5 Oh, let us all from bondage flee,
Let my people go;
And let us all in Christ be free,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
