A E A
Away by the river so clear,
E A
the ladies were winding their way,
E
and Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water,
A E A
to bathe in the cool of the day.
A
Before it was dark, she opened the ark,
E A
and found the sweet infant was there. (2x)
A E A
And away by the waters so blue,
E A
the infant was lonely and sad.
E
She took him in pity and thought him so pretty,
A E A
and it made little Moses so glad.
A
She called him her own, her beautiful son,
E A
and sent for a nurse that was near. (2x)
A E A
And away by the river so clear
E A
they carried the beautiful child,
E
to his own tender mother, his sister and brother,
A E A
little Moses looked happy and smiled,
A
His mother so good, done all that she could
E A
to rear him and teach him with care. (2x)
A E A
And away by the sea that was red,
E A
little Moses, the servant of God,
E
while in Him confided, the sea was divided,
A E A
as upwards he lifted his rod.
A
The Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host
E A
was drowned in the waters and lost. (2x)
A E A
And away on a mountain so high,
E A
the last one that ever might see,
E
while in Him victorious, his hope was most glorious,
A E A
he'd soon oe'r the Jordan be free.
A
When his labor did cease, he departed in peace,
E A
and rested in the Heavens above. (2x)
