Jephtha: Act II, Scene 1. "Up the dreadful steep ascending" Songtext
von Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Up the dreadful steep ascending, while for fame and
Love contending, sought I thee, my glorious prize
Sought I thee, my glorious prize
Up the dreadful steep ascending, while for fame and
Love contending, sought I thee, my glorious prize
Up the dreadful steep ascending, while for fame and love contending
While for fame and love contending, sought I thee, my glorious prize
Sought I thee, my glorious prize
And the happy in the blessing be my sweetest
Joy possessing; other honors I despise
And the happy in the blessing be my sweetest Joy possessing; other honors I despise
Be my sweetest joy possessing; other honors I despise
Up the dreadful steep ascending, while for fame and
Love contending, sought I thee, my glorious prize
Sought I thee, my glorious prize
Up the dreadful steep ascending, while for fame and
Love contending, sought I thee, my glorious prize
Up the dreadful steep ascending, while for fame and love contending
While for fame and love contending, sought I thee, my glorious prize
Sought I thee, my glorious prize
