To the desert, Israel follow.

IT'S the voice OF God that calls as.
And that voice must all obey
Israeites Let's hence! away!
To freedom return!
Upheld by Judahs Lord.
Our hearts with ardour burn,
And bless his sacred word.
Egyptians Go hence. Away.
Altho your faith we spurn,
Your freedom is res ord.
No longer here sojourn-
Go hence, ye race abhorrd
