Text:Go Down, Moses
Tune:LET MY PEOPLE GO

623. Go Down, Moses

1 When Israel was in Egypt's land;
Let my people go,
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.

Refrain:
Go down Moses,
'Way down in Egypt's land.
Tell old Pharaoh,
Let my people go!

2 Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said;
Let my people go,
If not, I'll smite your firstborn dead,
Let my people go. [Refrain]

3 No more shall they in bondage toil;
Let my people go,
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
