Jephtha: Act II, Scene 2. "Heav'n smiles once more on his repentant people" / "His mighty arm, with sudden blow" Songtext
von Nigel Robson, English Baroque Soloists, Sir John Eliot Gardiner

And smiles once more on his repentant people
And victory spreads wide her silver wings
To soothe our sorrows with a peaceful calm
Zebul, thy deeds were valiant
No less than my Hamor
But the glory is the Lord′s
His mighty arm will sudden blow
Dispersed and quelled the haughty foe
The haughty foe
His mighty arm will sudden blow
Dispersed and quelled
Dispersed, dispersed and quelled the ha- ha- ha-
Ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- haughty foe
And quell the haughty foe
His mighty arm with sudden blow
Dispersed and quelled the haughty foe
And quell the ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha-
Ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- haughty foe
Dispersed, dispersed and quelled the haughty foe
His mighty arm with sudden blow


Dispersed, dispersed and quelled the ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha-
Ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- haughty foe
And quell the haughty foe
They fell before him as went through the sky
He bids the sweeping winds in vengeance fly
They fell before him
They fell, they fell before him as went through the skies
He bids the sweeping winds in vengeance fly- y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y
They fell before him as went through the sky
He bids the sweeping winds in vengeance fly- y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y
He bids the sweeping winds in vengeance fly
In vengeance, in vengeance fly
His mighty arm will sudden blow
Dispersed and quelled the ha- ha- ha- ha- haughty foe
The haughty foe
His mighty arm will sudden blow
Dispersed and quelled
Dispersed, dispersed and quelled the-
The- the- the- the- the- haughty foe
And quelled the haughty foe
His mighty arm with sudden blow
Dispersed and quelled the haughty foe
And quelled the ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha-
Ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- ha- haughty foe
Dispersed, dispersed and quelled the haughty foe
His mighty arm with sudden blow
Dispersed, dispersed and quelled the-
