Lyrics
SCENE II Enter Jael
Jael: O Deborah! where’er I turn my eyes,
Grim scenes of war, in all their horrors, rise.
O grant me in my green retreat,
Where solitude has fix’d her seat,
To live in peace, sequester’d far,
From dire alarms and sanguine war.
Deborah: Hear me then Jael!—let no fear
Of proud hostility thy peace impair;
For Heav’n has made thee its peculiar care.
Thy virtue, ere the close of day,
Shall shine with such a bright display,
That thou shalt be, by all, confess’d
Thy sex’s pride, divinely bless’d.
Written by: George Frideric Handel, Samuel Humphreys
