To lead the children of Israel through.
O come along Moses, you’ll not get lost,
Stretch out your rod and come across.
As Israel stood at the water side
At the command of God it did divide.
When they had reached the other shore
They sang a song of triumph o’er.
The story of the destruction of Pharaoh they must have sung with special gusto:
Pharaoh said he would go across
But Pharaoh and his host were lost.
