Händel: Why does the God of Israel sleep (from oratorio SAMSON)

…………………..

23. Air
Samson
Why does the God of lsrael sleep?
Arise with dreadful sound,
And clouds encompass’d round!
Then shall the heathen hear thy thunder deep.
The tempest of thy wrath now raise,
In whirlwinds them pursue,
Full fraught with vengeance due,
Till shame and trouble all thy foes shall seize!
