Chorus 1: Let the angel pass us over Let the angel pass us by Let the angel pass us over Let the angel of death pass us by We are poor Lord, live in bondage Yet we know Lord, we are thine We cry freedom from the Pharoah We await your mighty sign Blood of lamb upon the doorpost Sit in silence, hear them cry Judgement now has come upon them As their firstborn sons start to die Chorus 2: Let the angel pass us over Let the angel pass us by (pass us by) Let the angel pass us over Let the angel of death pass us by Oh remind us of your power Lord Ever mindful of this deed Guide us through our tribulation By your power we will all be free Repeat Chorus 2 Through the streets, through the homes Hear the echoes of the moans Repeat Chorus 2 The angel of death Has passed by
