English text
Virgins; Priests; Levites
Around let acclamations ring:
Hail, royal youth, hail royal youth,
Long live the king!
Joad
Reviving Judah shall no more
Detested images adore;
We’ll purge with a reforming hand
Idolatry from out the land.
May God, from whom all mercies spring,
Bless the true church, and save the king!
Virgins; Priests; Levites
Bless the true church, and save the king!
Opera Stanford
