I love the "See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes"

From Handel's Judas Maccabaeus oratorio.

How I wish that this would be played these days to counter the Messiah.



Here are the lyrics

See, the Conqu'ring Hero Comes
(Youths)
See, the conqu'ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets! Beat the drums!
Sports prepare! The laurel bring!
Songs of triumph to him sing!

(Virgins)
See the godlike youth advance!
Breathe the flutes and lead the dance!
Myrtle wreaths and roses twine
to deck the hero's brow divine!

(Israelites)
See, the conqu'ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets! Beat the drums!
Sports prepare! The laurel bring!
Songs of triumph to him sing!
See, the conqu'ring hero comes!
Sound the trumpets! Beat the drums!
