2. Chorus of Israelites

(after the miraculous passage of the Jordan, and entrance into Canaan)
Ye sons of Israel, ev'ry tribe attend,
Let grateful songs and hymns to Heav'n ascend!
In Gilgal, and on Jordan's banks proclaim
One first, one great, one Lord Jehovah's name.

4. Air

Caleb
O first in wisdom, first in pow'r!
Jehovah ev'ry blessing show'r
Around Thy sacred head!
The neighb'ring realms with envy see
The happiness and liberty
O'er all thy people spread.



ACT TWO




Scene 7

Joshua, Caleb, Othniel, Chiefs, Elders and Chorus.
The armies of the Israelites and Canaanites prepared for battle.



43. Recitative

Joshua
Brethren and friends, what joy this scene imparts,
To meet such brave, such firm united hearts!
What though the tyrants, an unnumber'd host,
Their strength in horse, and iron chariots, boast?
Now shines the sun, that fixeth Canaan's doom,
Trust in the Lord, and you shall overcome.

Flourish of warlike instruments.

Caleb
Thus far our cause is favour'd by the Lord.
Advance, pursue, Jehovah is the word!
Flourish of warlike instruments.



ACT THREE




Scene the last

To them Othniel.



60. Chorus

The great Jehovah is our awful theme,
Sublime in majesty, in pow'r supreme.
Hallelujah!
