Little Moses Full Lyrics

And away, by the waters so blue The ladies were windin' their way When Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down to the water To bathe in the cool of the day And before it was dark, she looked in the ark And found sweet infant was there And before it was dark, she looked in the ark And found sweet infant was there And away, by the waters so blue She carried that beautiful child To his tender mother, his sister and brother Little Moses looked happy and smiled And she called him her own, her beautiful son And sent for a nurse that was near And she called him her own, her beautiful son And sent for a nurse that was near And away, by the sea that was red, so red Little Moses, the servant of God Before him subsided, seas were divided When upward he lifted his rod And the Jews safely crossed, while Pharaoh's host Were drownded in the waters and lost And the Jews safely crossed, while Pharaoh's host Were drownded in the waters and lost And away, on a mountain so high Last one that he ever did see With Israel victorious his hopes were most glorious Someday all Jordan be free When his spirit did cease, he departed in peace And rested in the Heavens above When his spirit did cease, he departed in peace And rested in the Heavens above
