Let my people go.

Go down, Moses,

Tell ol' Pharaoh,
let my people go.

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]
