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 Pharaoh
To let my people go!

2. Thus spoke the Lord,” bold Moses said
”Let my people go!
If not, I’ll smite your firstborn dead.
Let my people go!”
Chorus:

3. No more shall they in bondage toil
Let my people go!
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil
Let my people go!
Chorus:

Awake were they only
Those shepherds so lonely
On guard in that silence profound
When colour had faded
When night-time had shaded
Their senses from sight and from sound

//: Lo, then broke a wonder
Then drifted asunder
The veils from the splendour of God
When light from the Holy
Came down to the lowly
And heav’n to the earth that they trod ://

May light now enfold us
O Lord, for behold us
Like shepherds, from tumult withdrawn
Nor hearing, nor seeing
All other care fleeing
We wait the ineffable dawn

//: O spirit all-knowing
Thou source overflowing
O move in the darkness around
That sight may be in us
True hearing to win u
Glad tidings where Christ may be found ://
