Verse 1
And the children of Israel (mmmmmm)
Stripped themselves of their ornaments
By the Mount Horeb

Verse 2
And Moses took the tabernacle
And pitched it without the camp
And called it the Tabernacle
Of the Congregation (mmmmmm)

Verse 3
And it came to pass
That every one which sought the Lord went out unto
The Tabernacle of the Congregation
Which was without the camp (mmmmmm)

Verse 4
And it came to pass, when Moses went out
Unto the Tabernacle
And all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door
And looked after Moses, (mmmmmm)
Until he was gone into the Tabernacle

Chorus
And all the people rose up and worshiped (mmmmmm)
And all the people rose up and worshiped (mmmmmm)
And all the people rose up and worshiped (mmmmmm)
And all the people rose up and worshiped (mmmmmm)
