Go down Moses, way down.
Go down Moses, way down.
Go down Moses, way down.
Facing me, right up there in the gallery
Overlooking all of us
In this chamber
It’s the image of Moses
Let my people go
When Israel was in Egypt’s land
(Let my people go)
Oppressed so hard they could not stand,
(Let my people go)
So the God said:
Go down Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharos to let my people go.
Moses let our people from slavery
To the gates of the promised land
And before the people of Israel
Entered the land of Israel
Moses gave us a message that
Is still the resolve for thousands of years
I leave you with his message today:
“חזקו ואמצו, אל תראו ואל תארצו מפניהם.”
“Be strong and resolute, neither fear nor dread them”
Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said;
Let my people go
If not, I’ll smite your first born dead,
Let my people go.
God the lord said.
Go down Moses, way down in Egypt land
Tell old Pharos to let my people go.
