LITTLE MOSES

Away by the river so clear
The ladies were winding their way
While 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 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 she sent for a nurse who was near

And away by the river so clear
They carried that 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

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

And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
Was drowned in the waters and lost

And away on a mountain so high
The last one that ever did 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
