When Israel was in Egypt's land 
Let my people go 
O-o-ppressed 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 


Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said 
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead. 

The Lord told Moses what to do 
To lead the children of Israel through. 

No more shall they in bondage toil, 
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil. 
Oh let us all from bondage flee, 
And let us all in Christ be free.
