go down moses

when israel was in egypt's land

let my people go

oppressed so hard they could not stand

let my people go. 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. no more shall they in bondage toil

let my people go

let them come out with egypt's spoil

let my people go. we need not always weep and mourn

let my people go

and wear these slavery chains forlorn

let my people go. your foes shall not before you stand

let my people go

and you'll possess fair canaan's land

let my people go. o let us all from bondage flee

let my people go

and let us all in christ be free

let my people go.
