Let my people go.

Let my people go.

Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land,
Tell ole Pharaoh, Let my people go.

Let my people go.
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead:
Let my people go. [Refrain]

Let my people go.

Let my people go.

Let my people go. [Refrain]

And let us all in Christ be free:
Let my people go. [Refrain]
