Z 629 The Fairy Queen, IV 1. Now the Night is chac'd away. lyrics

Soprano:

Now the Night is chac'd away,

All salute the rising Sun;

'Tis that happy, happy Day,

The Birth-Day of King Oberon.

Coro:

Let the Fifes, and the Clarions, and shrill Trumpets sound,

And the Arch of high Heav'n the Clangor resound.
