Part the first. Introduction -- Ye sons of Israel -- Behold, my friends -- Matrons and virgins -- Oh! Who can tell -- Caleb, attend to all I now prescribe -- To long posterity -- So long the memory shall last -- But who is he? -- Awful pleasing being -- Joshua, I come commission'd from on high -- Leader of Israel -- To give command -- Haste, Israel, haste -- The Lord commands -- In these blest scenes -- 'Tis Achsah's voice -- Hail, lovely virgin -- Hark, hark! 'tis the linnet and the thrush -- O Achsah, form'd for ev'ry chaste delight -- Our limpid streams with freedom flow -- The trumpet calls -- May all the host of heav'n. |

Part the second. 'Tis well six times the Lord hath been obey'd -- March -- Glory to God! -- The walls are levell'd -- See the raging flames arise -- Let all the seed of Abrah'm -- Almighty ruler of the skies -- Joshua, the men dispatch'd by thee to learn -- How soon our tow'ring hopes are cross'd -- Whence this dejection? -- With redoubled rage return -- Now give the army breath -- Heroes when with glory burning -- Brethren and friends -- Sinfonia -- Thus far our cause is favour'd -- O, thou bright orb -- Behold the list'ning sun. |

Part the third. Hail! Mighty Joshua, Hail! -- Happy, oh, thrice happy we -- Caleb, for holy Eleazer send -- Shall I in Mamre's fertile plain -- For all these mercies we will sing -- O Caleb, fear'd by foes -- Father of mercy -- In bloom of youth -- See the conqu'ring hero comes -- Welcome, my son -- Oh! Had I Jubal's lyre -- While lawless tyrants -- The great Jehovah is our awful theme. |
