Overture
This Day, A Solemn Feast To Dagon Held
Awake The Trumpet's Lofty Sound
Ye Men Of Gaza, Hither Bring
Awake The Trumpet's Lofty Sound
Loud As The Thunder's Awful Voice
Then Free From Sorrow
Awake The Trumpet's Lofty Sound
Why By An Angel Was My Birth Foretold
Torments Alas!
O Change Beyond Report
O Mirror Of Our Fickle State!
Whom Have I To Complain Of But Myself
Total Eclipse!
Since Light So Necessary Is To Life
Oh First Created Beam!
Ye See, My Friends, How Woes Enclose Me Round
Brethren And Men Of Dan
Oh Miserable Change!
Oh Ever Failing Trust In Mortal Strength!
God Of Our Fathers, What Is Man?
The Good We Wish For, Often Proves Our Bane
Thy Glorious Deeds Inspir'd My Tongue
Justly These Evils Have Befall'n Thy Son
My Griefs For This
Why Does The God Of Israel Sleep?
There Lies Our Hope!
Then Shall They Know
For Thee, My Dearest Son
Then Long Eternity Shall Greet Your Bliss
Then Round About The Starry Throne
Despair Not Thus!
Just Are The Ways Of God To Man
My Evils Hopeless Are!
Return, Oh God Of Hosts!
But Who Is This
With Plaintive Notes And Am'rous Moan
Alas! Th' Event Was Worse Than I Foresaw
Your Charms To Ruin Led The Way
Forgive What's Done
My Faith And Truth, Oh Samson, Prove
To Fleeting Pleasures Make Your Court
Ne'er Think Of That!
Traitor To Love!
It Is Not Virture
Favour'd Of Heaven Is He
To Man God's Universal Law
No Words Of Peace
Honour And Arms Scorn Such A Foe
Put On Your Arms
My Strength Is From The Living God
With Thee!
Go, Baffled Coward, Go
Here Lie The Proof
Hear, Jacob's God, Jehovah, Hear!
Dagon, Arise!
To Song And Dance We Give The Day
To Song And Dance We Give The Day
Fix'd In His Everlasting Seat
More Trouble Is Behind
Presuming Slave
Reflect Then, Samson
With Thunder Arm'd Great God, Arise!
Be Of Good Courage
Thus When The Sun From's Wat'ry Bed
With Might Endued Above The Sons Of Men
The Holy One Of Israel Be Thy Guide
Old Manoa, With Youthful Steps
Great Dago Has Subdued Our Foe
What Noise Of Joy Was That?
How Willing My Paternal Love
Your Hopes Of His Deliv'ry Seem Not Vain
Noise Call You This?
Where Shall I Run
In Life And Death
Proceed We Hence To Find His Body
Dead March
The Body Comes
Glorious Hero
Come, Come!
Let The Bright Seraphim
