Lyrics

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 old Pharaoh: let my people go.

The Lord told Moses what to do,
let my people go,
to lead the Hebrew children through,
let my people go.

  Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land,
  tell old Pharaoh: let my people go.

As Israel stood by water's side,
let my people go,
at God's command it did divide,
let my people go.

  Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land,
  tell old Pharaoh: let my people go.

When they had reached the other shore,
let my people go,
they let the song of triumph soar,
let my people go.

Lord, help us all from bondage flee,
let my people go,
and let us all in Christ be free,
let my people go.
