Georg Friedrich Händel Jephtha When His loud voice in thunder spoke |
CHORUS OF ISRAELITES
When His loud voice in thunder spoke,
With conscious fear the billows broke,
Observant of his dread command.
In vain they roll their foaming tide,
Confin'd by that great pow'r,
That gave them strength to roar.
They now contract their boist'rous pride,
And lash with idle rage the laughing strand.
