This morning at 1st Prez

This morning's early service at 1st Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas included a musical offering ... "Arm, Arm, Ye Brave" from Judas Maccabeus by George Frideric Handel, performed by baritone Bryan Wilson and accompanist Laura Brown.

I feel, I feel the deity within,
Who, the bright cherubim between,
His radiant glory erst display'd;
To Israel's distressful pray'r
He hath vouchsafe'd a gracious ear,
And points out Maccabaeus to their aid:
Judas shall set the captive free,
And lead us all to victory.
 
Arm, arm, ye brave! A noble cause,
The cause of Heav'n your zeal demands.
In defence of your nation, religion, and laws,
The Almighty Jehovah will strengthen your hands.
