Little Moses歌詞

Little Moses (小摩西) - The Carter Family
Away by the river so clear
The ladies were winding their way
And Pharaoh's little daughter
Stepped down in the water
To bathe in the cool of the day
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
Before it was dark she opened the ark
And found the sweet infant was there
And away by the waters so blue
The infant was lonely and sad
She took him in pity
And thought him so pretty
And it made little Moses so glad
She called him her own
Her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near
She called him her own
Her beautiful son
And sent for a nurse that was near
And away by the river so clear
They carried the beautiful child
To his own tender mother
His sister and brother
Little Moses looked happy and smiled
His mother so good done all that she could
To rear him and teach him with care
His mother so good done all that she could
To rear him and teach him with care
And away by the sea that was red
Little Moses the servant of God
While in him confided the sea was divided
As upward he lifted his rod
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the waters and lost
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the waters and lost
And away on the mountain so high
The last one that ever might see
While in his victorious
His hope was most glorious
He'd soon o'er the Jordan be free
When his spirit did cease
He departed in peace
And rested in the Heavens above
When his spirit did cease
He departed in peace
And rested in the Heavens above
