Em B7 Em C7
When Israel was in Egypts land,
B7 Em
let my people go.
Em B7 Em C7
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
B7 Em
let my people go.
Chorus:
Em Am
Go down, Moses,
B7 Em
way down in Egypts land.
Em Am
Tell old Pharaoh
B7 Em
to let my people go.
Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said,
If not, I'll smite your first born dead.
Chorus
The Lord told Moses what to do,
to lead the children of israel through.
Chorus
No more shall they in bondage toil
let them come out with Egypt's spoil.
Chorus
We need always weep and mourn
And wear these slav'ry chains forlorn
Chorus
The Devil thought he had us fast
But we thought we'd break his chains at last
Chorus
Oh let us all of bondage flee,
and let us all in Christ be free.
Chorus
