Messiah. Thus saith the Lord : But who may abide the day of his coming ; For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth : The people that walked in darkness ; Why do the nations so furiously rage together? ; Behold, I tell you a mystery : The trumpet shall sound -- Judas Maccabæus. I feel the deity within : Arm, arm, ye brave ; Be comforted : The Lord worketh wonders -- Samson. The good we wish for : Thy glorious deeds inspir'd my tongue ; Honour and arms ; How willing my paternal love -- Jephtha. It must be so : Pour forth no more unheeded pray'rs -- Alexander's feast. Revenge, Timotheus cries -- Esther. I'll hear no more : Pluck root and branch.
