Little Moses

Away by the river so clear, the ladies were winding their way

And Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water

To bathe in the cool of the day



Before it was dark she opened the ark

And found the sweet infant was there

Before it was dark she opened the ark

And found the sweet infant was there



And away by the waters so blue, the infant was lonely and sad

She took him in pity and thought him so pretty

And it made little Moses so glad



She called him her own, her beautiful son

And sent for a nurse that was near

She called him her own, her beautiful son

And sent for a nurse that was near



And away by the river so clear, they carried the beautiful child

To his own tender mother, his sister and brother

Little Moses looked happy and smiled



His mother so good done all that she could

To rear him and teach him with care

His mother so good done all that she could

To rear him and teach him with care



And away by the sea that was red, little Moses, the servant of God

While in him confided the sea was divided

As upward he lifted his rod



The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host

Was drownded in the waters and lost

The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host

Was drownded in the waters and lost



And away on the mountain so high, the last one that ever might see

While in his victorious, his hope was most glorious

He'd soon o'er the Jordan be free
