Program Text
Handel: "Eternal Source of Light Divine"
Eternal source of light divine!
with double warmth thy beams display,
and with distinguish'd glory shine,
to add a lustre to this day.
Handel: "Let the Bright Seraphim"
Let the bright Seraphim in burning row,
their loud, uplifted angel trumpets blow.
Let the Cherubic host in tuneful choirs
touch their immortal harps with golden wires.
Let the bright Seraphim . . .
