Scene 4: Accompagnato: Deeper and deeper still, thy goodness, child (Jephtha) - James Gilchrist/Stavanger Symphony Orchestra/Fabio Biondi
Lyrics by:Thomas Morell
Composed by:George Frideric Händel
Deeper and deeper still thy goodness child
Pierceth a father's bleeding heart and checks
The cruel sentence on my falt'ring tongue
Oh let me whisper it to the raging winds
Or howling deserts
For the ears of men
It is too shocking
Yet have I not vow'd
And can I think the great Jehovah sleeps
Like Chemosh and such fabled deities
Ah no Heav'n heard my thoughts and wrote them down
It must be so 'Tis this that racks my brain
And pours into my breast a thousand pangs
That lash me into madness
Horrid thought
Horrid thought
My only daughter so dear a child
Doom'd by a father
Yes the vow is past
And Gilead hath triumph'd o'er his foes
Therefore tomorrow's dawn tomorrow's dawn
I can no more
