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
