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,
To let My people go.
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let My people go,
If not I’ll smite your first-born dead,
Let My people go. Refrain
No more shall they in bondage toil;
Let My people go,
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil,
Let My people go. Refrain

Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!
Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.
All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
