Download Go Down Moses - Robeson.mp3 (Mp3 Audio) Duration: 2:07

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 old Pharoah, to 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. 

No more shall they in bondage toil,
     Let my people go;
Let them come out with Egypts spoil,
     Let my people go.

Oh 'twas a dark and dismal night,
     Let my people go;
When Moses led the Israelites,
     Let my people go.

The Lord told Moses what to do,
     Let my people go;
To lead the children of Israel through,
     Let my people go.

O come along, Moses, you won't get lost,
     Let my people go;
Stretch out your rod and come across,
     Let my people go.

As Israel stood by the water side,
     Let my people go;
At the command of God it did divide,
     Let my people go.

And when they reached the other side,
     Let my people go;
They sand a song of triumph o'er,
     Let my people go.

You won't get lost in the wilderness,
     Let my people go;
With a lighted candle in your breast,
     Let my people go.

O let us all from bondage flee,
     Let my people go;
And let us all in Christ be free,
     Let my people go.

We need not always weep and moan,
     Let my people go;
And wear these slavery chains forlorn,
     Let my people go.

What a beautiful morning that will be,
     Let my people go;
When time breaks up in eternity,
     Let my people go.
