Little Moses
the ladies were winding their way,
and Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water,
to bathe in the cool of the day.
CHORUS
Before it was dark, she opened the ark,
and found the sweet infant was there. (2x)
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. (2x)
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. (2x)
And away by the sea that was red,
little Moses, the servant of God,
while in Him confided, the sea was divided,
as upwards he lifted his rod.
The Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
was drowned in the waters and lost. (2x)
And away on a mountain so high,
the last one that ever might see,
while in Him victorious, his hope was most glorious,
he'd soon oe'r the Jordan be free.
When his labor did cease, he departed in peace,
and rested in the Heavens above. (2x)
