Scene one. Awake the trumpet's lofty sound -- Total eclipse -- O first-created beam. Scene two. My evils hopeless are -- Return, return, O god of hosts -- To dust his glory they would tread -- But who is this -- With plaintive notes -- My faith and truth -- Her faith and truth -- Ne'er think of that -- Traitor to love. Scene three. No words of peace -- Honor and arms -- Cam'st thou for this -- Go, baffled coward, go -- Here lies the proof -- Hear, Jacob's God. Scene four. Dagon, arise! -- To song and dance -- Fix'd in his everlasting seat -- Be of good courage -- Thus when the sun -- Old Manoah, with youthful steps -- Great Dagon has subdued our foe. Scene five. What noise of joy was that? -- How willing my paternal love -- Your hopes of his delivery -- Sonfonia -- Heaven! What noise? -- Hear us, our God -- Where shall I run? -- Weep, Israel, weep -- Glorious hero. Scene six (epiologue). Come, come: no time for lamentation now -- Let the bright seraphim -- Let their celestial concerts all unite.
