Judas Maccabeus, HWV 63 - Tenor Air/Chorus “Sound an alarm,” from Judas Maccabaeus

Sound an alarm! Your silver trumpets sound,

and call the brave, and only brave, around.

Who listeth, follow: to the field again!

Justice with courage is a thousand men.

We hear the pleasing, dreadful call,

and follow thee to conquest:

if to fall, for laws, religion, liberty, we fall.
