Go Down Moses

When israel was in egypt land,
Let my people go!
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go!
Go down, moses,
Way down in egypt land,
Tell old pharao
To let my people go!

“Thus spoke the lord”, bold moses said,
Let my people go!
“If not I’ll smite your first-born dead!”
Let my people go!
Go down…

Your foes shall not before you stand,
Let my people go!
And you’ll possess fair canaan’s land
Let my people go!
Go down…

You’ll not get lost in the wilderness
Let my people go!
With a lighted candle in your breast.
Let my people go!
Go down…
