Overture
Chorus: Ye Sons of Israel
First in Wisdom, first in pow'r
Oh! who can tell, oh! who can hear!
To Long prosperity we here record
So Long the Memory Shall Last
Aweful, pleasing being, say
Leader of Israel, tis the Lord's decree
Hast, Israel, haste
The Lord commands, and Joshua Leads
In these blest scenes
Hark! tis the linnet and the thrush
Our limpid streams with freedom flow
The trumpet calls: Now Jericho shall know
Tis well! six times the Lord hath been obeyed;
Glory to God
See the raging flames arise!
To vanity and earthly pride
Thy mercy did with Israel dwell
How soon our tow'ring hopes are crossed
With redoubled rage return
Heroes, when with glory burning
As cheers the sun the tender flow'r
Nations, who in future story,
Thus far our cause is favour'd by the Lord
