Samson – Händel
86. Air
Israelite Woman
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.
87. Chorus of Israelites
Let their celestial concerts all unite,
Ever to sound his praise in endless blaze of light.
