Little Moses [French translation]

Away by the river so clear,

The ladies were winding their way.

When Pharoah'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 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 did all that she could

To rear him and teach him with care.

His mother so good did 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 stepped across while Pharoah's host

Was drowned in the waters and lost.

The Jews stepped across while Pharoah's host

Was drowned in the waters and lost.

And away on the mountain so high,

The last one that he might see,

While in him victorious, his hope was most glorious,

That soon all Jordan be free.

When his labors did cease, he departed in peace,

And rested in the heavens above.

When his labors did cease, he departed in peace,

And rested in the heavens above .
