Little Moses chords

[C]Away by the [G]river so [C]clear,
The [C]ladies were [G]winding their [C]way,
And [G]Pharaoh's little daughter stepped down in the water
To [C]bathe in the [F]cool of the [C]day.
Be[C]fore it [F/C]was [C]dark she [C]opened [F/C]the [C]ark
And found the sweet [G]infant was [C]there.

[C]And away by [G]the water[C]s so blue,
The [C]infant was l[G]onely and s[C]ad.
She t[G]ook him in pity and thought him so pretty
And[C] it made litt[F]le Moses so [C]glad.
Sh[C]e called[F/C] him[C] her own,[C] her be[F/C]auti[C]ful son
And sent for a nurse[G] that was n[C]ear.

[C]And away by the r[G]iver so c[C]lear,
They[C] carried the[G] beautiful c[C]hild,
To his [G]own tender mother, his sister and brother,
Lit[C]tle Moses loo[F]ked happy an[C]d smiled.
Hi[C]s mother[F/C] so [C]good done al[C]l that [F/C]she [C]could
To rear him and teac[G]h him with [C]care.

[C]And away by [G]the sea t[C]hat was red,
Litt[C]le Moses the[G] servant of [C]God,
While in hi[G]m confided, the sea was divided,
As [C]upward he l[F]ifted his [C]rod.
Th[C]e Jews safely[F/C] cro[C]ssed whil[C]e Phara[F/C]oh's[C] host
Was drownded in the [G]waters and [C]lost.

[C]And away on [G]the mount[C]ain so high,
The [C]last one tha[G]t ever might s[C]ee,
While in his[G] victorious, his hope was most glorious
He'[C]d soon o'er t[F]he Jordan be[C] free.
Wh[C]en his labor d[F/C]id c[C]ease, he [C]departed i[F/C]n pe[C]ace
And rested in the[G] Heavens ab[C]ove.
