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

Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land;
tell old Pharoah to let my people go!

"Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said,
let my people go;
"if not, I'll smite your firstborn dead,"
let my people go.

No more shall they in bondage toil,
let my people go;
let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
let my people go.

[Refrain]

[Verse 4]
We need not always weep and mourn,
let my people go;
and wear those slav'ry chains forlorn,
let my people go.

Come, Moses, you will not get lost,
let my people go;
stretch out your rod and come across,
let my people go.
