Go Down Moses

(after 4th lesson)
When Israel was in Egypt’s land: Let my people go;
Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let my people go.
Chorus: Go down, Moses,
‘Way down in Egypt land,
Tell ole Pharaoh, 
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.
(Chorus)
No more shall they in bondage toil
Let them come out with Egypt’s spoil (Chorus)

 (after 5th lesson)
When Israel out of Egypt came, . . . 
and left the proud oppressive land, (Chorus)
O, ‘twas a dark and dismal night, . . .
When Moses led the Israelites, (Chorus)
‘Twas good old Moses and Aaron, too, . . .
‘Twas they that led the armies through, (Chorus)
The Lord told Moses what to do, . . .
To lead the children of Israel through, (Chorus)
O come along, Moses, you’ll not get lost, . . .
Stretch out your rod and come across, (Chorus)
As Israel stood by the waterside, . . .
At the command of God it did divide, (Chorus)
When they had reached the other shore . . .
They sang the song of triumph o’er, (Chorus)
Pharaoh said he would go across, . . .
But Pharaoh and his host were lost, (Chorus)

(after 6th lesson)
Jordan shall stand up like a wall, . . .
With a lighted candle in your breast, (Chorus)
Your foes, shall not before you stand, . . .
And you’ll possess fair Canaan’s land, (Chorus)
‘Twas just about in harvest-time, . . . 
When Joshua led his host divine, (Chorus)
Oh, let us all from bondage flee, . . . 
And let us all in Christ be free, (Chorus)
We need not always weep and moan, . . . 
And wear these slavery chains forlorn, (Chorus)
Rise and Shine

The Lord said to Noah, “There’s gonna be a flood-y, flood-y” Lord said to Noah, “There’s gonna be a flood-y, flood-y.  Get those children out of the mud-y, mud-y.”  Children of the Lord.

Chorus: So rise and shine and give God the glory, glory.  Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory.  Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory, Children of the Lord.

The Lord said to Noah, “You’d better build an ark-y, ark-y.” The Lord said to Noah, “You’d better build an ark-y, ark-y, build it out of hickory bark-y, bark-y.”  Children of the Lord.  (Chorus)

The animals, they came aboard two by two-sy, two-sy. The animals, they came aboard two by two-sy, two-sy.  Elephants and kangaroo-sy, roo-sy, Children of the Lord.  (Chorus)

It rained and rained for forty day-zy, day-zy. It rained and rained for forty day-zy, day-zy.  Almost drove those animals crazy, crazy, Children of the Lord.  (Chorus)

The sun came out and dried off the land-y, land-y. The sun came out and dried off the land-y, land-y.  Everything was fine and dandy, dandy.  Children of the Lord.  (Chorus)
