Little Moses

C           G        C
Away by the river so clear,
    C           G             C
The ladies were winding their way,
    G
And Pharaoh's little daughter 
stepped down in the water
   C            F           C
To bathe in the cool of the day.
  C       F/C C        C      
Before it was dark she opened the 
F/C C
ark
                    G         
And found the sweet infant was 
 C
there.

C           G        C
And away by the waters so blue,
    C           G          C
The infant was lonely and sad.
     G
She took him in pity and thought him
 so pretty
   C            F           C
And it made little Moses so glad.
  C       F/C C        C
She called him her own, her 
      F/C C
beautiful son

                    G          C
And sent for a nurse that was near.

C                G        C
And away by the river so clear,
    C           G           C
They carried the beautiful child,
       G
To his own tender mother, his sister
 and brother,
   C            F           C
Little Moses looked happy and 
smiled.
  C       F/C C           C      
His mother so good done all that 
F/C C
she could
                    G          C
To rear him and teach him with care.

C           G        C
And away by the sea that was red,
    C           G           C
Little Moses the servant of God,
           G
While in him confided, the sea was 
divided,
   C          F         C
As upward he lifted his rod.
  C            F/C C        
The Jews safely crossed while 
C      F/C C
Pharaoh's host
                    G          C
Was drownded in the waters and lost.

C           G        C
And away on the mountain so high,
    C           G             C
The last one that ever might see,
            G
While in his victorious, his hope 
was most glorious
   C            F           C
He'd soon o'er the Jordan be free.
  C             F/C C     
When his labor did cease, he 
   C         F/C C
departed in peace
                 G          C
And rested in the Heavens above.
