|
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 water 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 water and lost |
|
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host |
|
Was drownded in the water and lost |
|
And away on the mountain so high |
|
The last one that ever might be |
|
While in his victorious |
|
His hope was most glorious |
|
He'd soon over the Jordan be free |
|
When his labors did cease |
|
He parted in peace |
|
And rested in the heavens above |
|
When his labors did cease |
|
He parted in peace |
|
And rested in the heavens above |
