• The mighty work is done at last

Chorus
Achieved is the glorious work; the Lord beholds it and is pleas’d. In lofty strains let us rejoice! Our song let be the praise of God.
Terzetto (Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael)
GABRIEL, URIEL
On thee each living soul awaits;
from thee, O Lord, they beg their meat.
Thou openest thy hand, and sated all they are.
RAPHAEL
But as to them thy face is hid, with sudden terror they are struck. Thou tak’st their breath away; they vanish into dust.
GABRIEL, URIEL, RAPHAEL
Thou lett’st thy breath go forth again, and life with vigor fresh returns.
Revived earth unfolds new force and new delights.
Chorus
Achieved is the glorious work. Our song let be the praise of God. Glory to his name forever; he sole on high exalted reigns, Halleluia.
