Handel: Saul, HWV 53 / Act 1:"O Lord, whose providence ever wakes for their defence" (Live) - Neil Mackie/Monteverdi Choir/English Baroque Soloists/John Eliot Gardiner
Lyrics by:Charles Jennens
Composed by:George Frideric Händel
O Lord whose providence
Ever wakes for their defence
Who the ways of virtue choose
Who the ways of virtue choose
Let not thy faithful servant fall
A victim to the rage of Saul
Who hates without a 'cause
Who hates without a 'cause
And in defiance of thy laws
His precious life
His precious life pursues
His precious life pursues
