Joshua, HWV 64: O Had I Jubal's Lyre

Kathleen Battle

Compositor: Georg Friedrich Händel

Oh, had I jubal’s lyre
Or miriam’s tuneful voice
Oh, had I jubal’s lyre
Or miriam’s tuneful voice
To sounds like his I would aspire
To sounds like his I would aspire

In songs like hers
In songs like hers rejoice
In songs like hers rejoice
In songs like hers rejoice

Oh, had I jubal’s lyre
Or miriam’s tuneful voice
Oh, had I jubal’s lyre
Or miriam’s tuneful voice
To sounds like his I would aspire
In songs like hers
In songs like hers rejoice
In songs like hers rejoice
In songs like hers rejoice

My humble strains but faintly show
How much to heav’n and thee I owe
My humble strains but faintly show
How much to heav’n and thee I owe
How much to heav’n and thee I owe
