Away by the waters so blue   The ladies were winding their way   While Pharaoh's little daughter went down to the water   To bathe in the cool of the day   Before it was dark she opened the ark   And found the sweet babe that 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 she sent for a nurse who was near      And away by the waters so blue   They carried that beautiful child   To his tender mother, to his sister and brothers   Little Moses looked happy and smiled   His mother so good did all that she could   To raise 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 upwards he lifted his rod   And the Jews safely crossed while Pharaoh's host   Was drowned in the waters and lost      And away on a mountain so high   The last that he ever did see   With Israel victorious, his hopes were most glorious   That soon all the Jordan be free   When his spirit did cease, he departed in peace   And rested in the Heavens above
