Away by the river so clear,
    C           G             C
The ladies were winding their way,

To bathe in the cool of the day.

And away by the waters so blue,

The infant was lonely and sad.

And it made little Moses so glad.

They carried the beautiful child,
       G
To his own tender mother, his sister and brother,

Little Moses looked happy and smiled.

His mother so good done all that she could

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        C      F/C C
The Jews safely crossed while 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        C         F/C C
When his labor did cease, he departed in peace
                 G          C
And rested in the Heavens above.
