Overture
How Excellent Thy Name
An Infant Rais’d
Along The Monster
The Youth Inspir’d
How Excellent Thy Name
Hallelujah!
He comes, he comes!
O Godlike Youth
Behold, O King
O King, Your Favours
Oh, Early Piety!
What Abject Thoughts
Yet Think On Whom This Honour
Birth And Fortune I Despise!
Go On, Illustrious Pair!
While Yet Thy Tide
Thou, Merab, First In Birth
My Soul Rejects
Sinfonia
Already See The Daughters
Welcome, Welcome, Mighty King!
What Do I hear?
David His Ten Thousands Slew
To Him Ten Thousands
With Rage I Shall Burst
Imprudent Women!
Fell Rage And black Despair
Racked With Infernal Pains
O Lord, Whose Merices
Symphony (Harp)
'Tis All In Vain
A Serpent, In My Bosom Warm'd
Has He Escp'd My Rage?
Capricious Man
O Filial Piety!
No, Cruel Father, No!
O Lord, Whose Providence
Preserve Him For The Glory
Envy, Eldest Born Of Hell
Ah, Dearest Friend
But Sooner Jordan’s Stream
Oh, Strange Vicissitude!
Such Haughty Beauties Rather Move
My Father Comes
Sin Not, O King, Against The Youth
As Great Jehovah Lives, I Swear
From Cities Stormed, And Battles Won
Appear, My Friend
Your Words, O King, My Loyal Heart
Yes, He Shall Wed My Daughter!
O Fairest Of Ten Thousand Fair
Is There A Man, Who All His Ways
Sinfonia
Thy Father Is As Cruel
At Persecution I Can Laugh
Whom Dost Thou Seek?
No, No, Let The Guilty Tremble
Mean As He Was, He Is My Brother Now
Author Of Peace
Symphony
The Time At Length Is Come
Where Is The Son Of Jesse?
Oh, Fatal Consequence
Wretch That I Am, Of My Own Ruin Author!
’Tis said, here lives a woman
With Me What Would’st Thou?
Infernal Spirits, By Whose Pow’r
Why Hast Thou Forc’d Me From The Realms Of Peace?
Sinfonia
Whence Comest Thou?
Impious Wretch, Of Race Accurst!
Symphony: Dead March
Mourn, Israel, Mourn Thy Beauty Lost
Oh, Let It Not In Gath Be Heard
From This Unhappy Day
Brave Jonathan His Bow Never Drew
Eagles Were Not So Swift As They
In Sweetest Harmony They Lived
O Fatal Day!
Ye Men Of Judah, Weep No More!
Gird On Thy Sword, Thou Man Of Might
