453. When Israel Was in Egypt's Land

1 When Israel was in Egypt's land,
Let my people go,
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
Let my people go.

Refrain:
Go down, Moses,
'Way down in Egypt's land.
Tell old Pharaoh,
To let my people go.

2 Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let my people go,
If not I'll smite your firstborn dead,
Let my people go. [Refrain]

3 No more in bondage shall they toil,
Let my people go,
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
Let my people go. [Refrain]
