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

Chorus:
Go down, Moses,
Way down in Egypt’s land;
Tell ol’ Pharaoh,
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!

Chorus

No more shall they in bondage toil
Let my people go;
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil
Let my people go!

Chorus

We need not always weep and mourn
Let my people go;
And wear these slavery chains forlorn
Let my people go!

Chorus

When they had reached the other shore,
Let my people go;
They sang a song of triumph o'er.
Let my people go!
