Four hundred years!
Slaves in Egypt, four hundred years!
Bitter bondage, building treasure cities,
Pithom and Ramses.

Four hundred years!
Slaves in Egypt, four hundred years!
Hot sun, hot fields, making bricks and mortar,
Made to serve with rigor!

Four hundred years!
Slaves in Egypt, four hundred years!
Cruel taskmasters, forcing us to labor -
O Lord, send us a savior!
O Lord, send us a savior!
Send a savior, send a savior,
Send a savior, send a savior,
SEND ONE NOW!!!

(Tune: March Slav)
