Go Down Moses Lyrics

Traditional

When Israel was in Egypt's Land,
Let my people go,
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.
Chorus
Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt's Land.
Tell ol' Pharoah,
Let my people go.
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let my people go,
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead,
Let my people go.
Chorus
No more shall they in bondage toil,
Let my people go,
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil, Let my people go.
Chorus
We need not always weep and mourn,
Let my people go,
And wear these slavery chains forlorn,
Let my people go.
Chorus
Your foes shall not before you stand,
Let my people go,
And you'll possess fair Canaan's land,
Let my people go.
Chorus
O let us all from bondage flee,
Let my people go,
And let us all in Christ be free,
Let my people go.
Chorus
