71. 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: Let my people go.
2 The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go,
to lead the Hebrew children through,
Let my people go. (Refrain)
3 As Israel stood by the waterside,
Let my people go,
at God's command it did divide,
Let my people go. (Refrain)
