And when Moses grew to manhood
An Egyptian, once he slew
To avoid King Pharaoh's anger
Unto Midian he flew
Climbed the hills and crossed the valley
On his rugged pathway trod
Until he came up to a mountain
That is called the Mount of God
Here, a bush with fire was burning
And from out the blaze it's true
Came the voice of angels calling
Telling Moses what to do
Telling him to go to Egypt
And before the king appear
Lead the people out of bondage
Moses then was filled with fear
Feared his people would not trust him
Not believe the word of God
Then his cane changed to a serpent
And again changed to a rod
The horse and his rider are cast in the sea
The Lord has prepared full salvation for me
The Lord is my strength and on him I rely
The songs that I sing shall be wafted on high
Then there came on the Egyptians
Boils accompanied with blains
Then the fire and hail and thunder
Swept along across the plains
Soon, there came the plague of locusts
Driven there before the breeze
And destroyed the vegetation
Ate the leaves from off the trees
Then there came a mighty darkness
In which the Egyptians dwelt
And they saw not one another
For this darkness could be felt
Next, the greatest of afflictions
Perhaps ever was on earth
'Twas the death in every household
Of the eldest child by birth
God commanded that the Hebrews
Were to sprinkle on the door
Blood, that the destroying angel
Seeing it, might pass them o'er
Pharaoh now, and the Egyptians
Became willing to release
All the Israelites from bondage
That they might depart in peace
The Lord is my salvation, and he is the God
Of Moses, our great leader, who carried the rod
