Little Moses
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 water 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 water and lost
The Jews they could cross while Pharaoh's host
Was drownded in the water and lost
And away on the mountain so high
The last one that ever might be
While in his victorious
His hope was most glorious
He'd soon over the Jordan be free
When his labors did cease
He parted in peace
And rested in the heavens above
When his labors did cease
He parted in peace
And rested in the heavens above
Pequeno Moisés
À beira do rio tão claro
As moças se encaminhavam
E a filha do faraó
Desceu na água
Para se banhar no frescor do dia
Antes que escurecesse, ela abriu a arca
E encontrou o doce bebê lá
Antes que escurecesse, ela abriu a arca
E encontrou o doce bebê lá
E à beira da água tão azul
O bebê estava sozinho e triste
Ela o pegou com pena e achou ele tão lindo
E isso deixou o pequeno Moisés tão feliz
Ela o chamou de seu, seu lindo filho
E mandou chamar uma ama que estava perto
Ela o chamou de seu, seu lindo filho
E mandou chamar uma ama que estava perto
E à beira do rio tão claro
Carregaram a linda criança
Para sua própria mãe carinhosa, sua irmã e irmão
O pequeno Moisés parecia feliz e sorriu
Sua mãe tão boa fez tudo que pôde
Para criá-lo e ensiná-lo com cuidado
Sua mãe tão boa fez tudo que pôde
Para criá-lo e ensiná-lo com cuidado
E à beira do mar que era vermelho
O pequeno Moisés, o servo de Deus
Enquanto nele confiava, o mar se dividia
Enquanto ele levantava sua vara
Os judeus podiam atravessar enquanto o exército de faraó
Afundava na água e se perdia
Os judeus podiam atravessar enquanto o exército de faraó
Afundava na água e se perdia
E lá no alto da montanha
O último que poderia ser
Enquanto em sua vitória
Sua esperança era mais gloriosa
Logo ele estaria livre além do Jordão
Quando seus trabalhos cessaram
Ele partiu em paz
E descansou nos céus acima
Quando seus trabalhos cessaram
Ele partiu em paz
E descansou nos céus acima
