George Frideric Handel

Chandos Anthem No.10. 'The Lord is my light' 27:57
1 Sinfonia 02:39
Tenor
2 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? The Lord is 2:38
the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?
Chorus
3 Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall my heart not be 3:01
afraid; though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.
Tenor
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will require: that I may dwell in 4:16
the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behond the fair beauty of the
Lord, and to visit his temple.
Chorus
5 I will will offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness, I will sing and 3:00
speak praises unto the Lord.
Chorus
6 For who is God but the Lord? Or who has any strength but the Lord? The 4:16
earth trembled, and quak'd, the very foundation also of the hills shook, and
were removed; he cast forth lightnings, and gave his tunder, and destroy'd
them.
Tenor
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart has trusted in him and I 2:14
am helped. Therefore my heart danceth for joy, and in my song will I praise
him.
Soprano
8 It is the Lord that ruleth the sea, the Lord sitteth above the water flood, and 1:42
the Lord remaineth a king for ever.
Chorus
9 Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks unto him for 3:59
a remembrance of his holiness.
I will remember thy name from one generation to another; therefore shall the
people give thanks unto thee world without end. Amen.

Chandos Anthem No.11. 'Let God arise' 21:19
10 Sonata 03:52
Chorus
11 Let God aris, and let his enemies be scattr'd; let them also that hate him, 2:54
flee before him.
Tenor
12 Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them away; like as max 2:37
melteth at the fire, so let the ungodly perish at the presence of God.
Soprano
13 Let the righteous be glad, and rejoice before God; let them also be merry 3:09
and joyful.
Chorus
14 O sing unto God, and sing praises unto his name. 3:18
Chorus
15 Praised be the Lord! 5:23
At thy rebuke, O God, both the chariot and horse are fall'n.
Blessed be God, Alleluja.
