Little Moses

[Verse 1]

And away by the waters so blue

The ladies were winding 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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

And away by the sea that was red, so red

Little Moses, the servant of God

Before him subsided, the 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

[Verse 4]

And away on a mountain so high

The 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
