INTRODUCTION and CHORUS.

YE fons of Ifrael, every tribe attend,

Handel.

Let grateful fongs and hymns to heav'n ascend;
In Gilgal, and on Jordan's banks proclaim
One first, one laft, one great Jehovah's name.

La fortunata liberta' del' alme
Le catene d'amor fentir io deggio
Oh del' amato mio perduto bene
Troppo fatal memoria, e troppo Cara.
Ombra amante qua giu teco m'aggiro
Per te fempre fofpiro in compagnia
Delle mie dolce pene.

In questo amabil regno degli eterni ripofi
Amor non mi abbandona

Amor in ogni parte mi fa vedere

L'amato oggetto impreffo e voi fede d'Elifo
Che da me il dividete

No, care e belle ogl'occhi miei non fiete.

SON G.

Cara fe le mie pene
Tutte fcordar mi fai

Non fepararti mai

Da questo amante cor.

CHORUS.

Handel.

The depths have covered them; they fank into the bottom as a stone.

CHORUS.

Thy tight hand, O Lord, is become glorious in er; thy right hand, O Lord, hath dafhed in es the enemy.

SONG. Nr. NIEL D.

Pleasure, my former ways refigning,

To Virtue's caufe inclining,

Thee, Pleasure now I leave;

Left, when my spirits fail me,

Repentance can't avail me,

Nor fickness comfort give.

Handel:

Da Capo

SONG. Madame M ARA.

What paffion cannot mufic raise and quell!
When Jubal struck the corded shell
His lift'ning brethren stood around,
And, wondering, on their faces fell
To worship that celestial found:

Handel

Lefs than a god they thought there could not dwell Within the hollow of that fhell,

That fpoke fo fweetly and fo well: What paffion cannot mufic raise and quell!

CHOR US.

Praise the Lord with harp and tongue,
Praise him, all ye old and young,

He's in mercy ever strong.

Praise the Lord through every state,

Praise him early, praise him late,
God alone is good and great.-
Let the loud Hofannahs rife,
Widely spreading through the fkies,
God alone is good and wife.

Handel.
