Chorus |
Gird on thy sword, thou man of might, |
Pursue thy wonted fame: |
Go on, be prosperous in fight, |
Retrieve the Hebrew name! |
Thy strong right hand, with terror armed, |
Shall thy obdurate foes dismay; |
While others, by thy virtue charm’d, |
Shall crowd to own thy righteous sway. |
Opera Stanford |
