LYRICS

Recitative:
My arms! Against this Gorgias will I go.
The Idumean Governor shall know
How vain, how ineffective his design,
While rage his leader, and Jehovah mine.

Air:
Sound an alarm – your silver trumpets sound,
And call the brave, and only brave around,
Who listeth, follow: – To the field again-
Justice with courage is a thousand men.
Sound an alarm – your silver trumpets sound,
And call the brave, and only brave around.

Chorus

We hear, we hear the pleasing dreadful call,
And follow thee to conquest; if to fall,
For laws, religion, liberty, we fall.

LYRICS

Recitative: Let the cherubic host, in tuneful choirs,
Touch their immortal harps with golden wires.

Solo: Let the bright seraphim
in burning row,
Their loud, uplifted angel trumpets blow.

Let the cherubic host,
in tuneful choirs,
Touch their immortal harps
with golden wires.

LYRICS

RECITATIVE. (Soprano): There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And lo! the angel of the Lord cam upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto the, Fear not; for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people; for unto you is
born this day in the City of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:

CHORUS: Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest,
And peace on earth.
Goodwill towards men.
