By a perverse pharaoh, they were enslaved,
He only fed them with crumbs and dust.
All of them were massacred.
For the Egyptians, they made statues,
In hard work, they were forced.
The Lord has changed that story,
With Moses and Aaron, He made a covenant.
Talking to them about good liberty,
Ridding them of slavery and torment.
Many have believed in their words and followed them,
Moses spoke to the pharaoh the word of the Lord,
Begging for the liberty of their people,
But, the heart of the pharaoh has hardened.
The much-dreamed departure has not happened.
In that land, God made signals and wonders,
Even so, the pharaoh did not believe.
He had magicians and many things they did.
Then, a big plague, God sent,
Killing all firstborns of the whole land,
Ridding only the Hebrews of this evil.
After that, the pharaoh feared them,
The late and dreamed departure, he gave them.
The Hebrews were getting out of Egypt,
They were almost out, but a pursuit started,
Many chariots and riders were going to them.
The Lord freed them again,
Opening the sea for them to pass through,
All sons of Israel have passed.
When in the sea, the Egyptians entered,
Then, by the Lord, the sea was closed.
All riders, they have seen die in the sea.
One great deliverance like that, only the Lord gives.
