Act I. Introduzione -- Ye sons of Israel, ev'ry tribe attend -- Behold, my friends, what vast rewards -- Oh Joshua, both to rule and bless ordain'd -- Oh first in wisdom, first in pow'r -- Matrons, and virgins, with unwear'd pray'r -- Oh! who can tell, oh! who can hear of Egypt -- Caleb, attend to all I now prescribe -- To long posterity we here record -- So long the memory shall last -- While Kedron's brook to Jordan's stream -- But who is he?-tremendous to behold -- Awful, pleasing being, say -- Joshua, I come comission'd from on high -- Haste, Israel, haste, your glitt'ring arms -- The Lord commands, and Joshua leads -- In these blest scenes, where constant pleasure -- Hard! 'tis the linnet and the thrush -- Oh Achsah! from'd for ev'ry chaste delight -- Our limpid streams with freedom flow -- The trumpet calls: now Jericho shall know -- May all the host of heav'n attend him. |

Act II. 'Tis weel; six times the Lord hath -- Glory to God! the strong cemented walls -- The walls are levell'd -- Sii, the raging flames arise -- To vanity and earthy pride -- Let all the seed of Abrah'm now prepare -- Almighty ruler of the skies -- Joshua, the men, dispatch'd by thee -- How soon our tow'ring hopes are cross'd -- Whence this dejection? -- With redoubled rage return -- We with redoubled rage return -- Now give the army breath -- Heroes, when with glory burning -- Indulgent heav'n hath heard my virgin pray'r -- As chears the sun the tender flow'r -- Sure I'm deceiv'd! with sorrow -- Oh! let thy bosom glow with warlike fire -- Nations, who in future story -- Brethren and friends -- Oh! thou bright orb -- Behold! the list'ning sun the voice obeys. |

Act III. Hail! mighty Joshua, hail! -- Happy, oh, thrice happy we -- Caleb, for holy Eleazer send -- Shall I in Mamre's fertile plain -- For all these mercies we will sing -- Oh Caleb, fear'd by foes -- Place danger around me -- Father of mercy, hear the pray'r we make -- In bloom of youth, this stripling has -- See, the conqu'ring hero comes -- See the god-like youth advance -- See, the conqu'ring hero comes -- Welcome, my son! my Othniel -- Oh! had I Jubal's lyre, or Miriam's -- While life shall last, each moment -- Oh peerless maid, the beauty blest -- Oh, gen'rous youth, whom virtue fires -- While lawless tyrants -- The great Jehovah is our awful theme. |
