Lyrics

Zebul
But Jephtha comes.
Kind Heav’n, assist our plea.
O Jephtha, with an eye of pity look
on thy repentant brethren in distress.
Forgetful of thy wrongs,
redress thy sire thy friends,
thy country in extreme despair.
Jephtha
I will, so please it Heav’n,
and these the terms:
If I command in war, the like command,
should Heav’en vouchsafe us a victorious
peace, shall still be mine.
Zebul
Agreed. Be witness, Heav’ns.
Written by: George Frideric Handel
