Tune: | [When Israel was in Egypt's land] |
Arranger: | Horace Clarence Boyer |
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 The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go;
To lead the children of Israel through,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
3 They journeyed on at his command,
Let my people go;
And came at length to Canaan's land,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
4 Oh, let us all from bondage flee,
Let my people go;
And let us all in Christ be free,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
