Lyrics
And it was in Egypt they say when God's children lived in the chain; Pharoah ruled with a strong mighty hand; they knew only suffering and pain. Four hundred years, but faith even here; they said our Deliverer we'll see! and Moses went down unto Pharoah and said: God says let My people go free! But Pharoah's heart was hardened and cold, tho' he saw mighty deeds with his eye; he said in his sin No, I will not repent and God said the first born will die. Slay a pure unspotted lamb, and mark then the blood on your door; and I will spare these children of Mine when the Angel of Death passes o'er. Terror and fear ran wild in the night; they listened and they heard death cry; but, oh! miracle, for the sake of the Lamb; the Angel of Death passed them by.
Oh, Lord, my sin is a bondage strong, and I've tried but I can't get free! Oh, Gesu, Thou Lamb of God, by Thy Precious Blood, deliver me!
