Songs We Like to Sing

Published 1912 See the Conquering Hero Comes
from "Judas Maccabaeus"
Dr. Morell

George Frederic Handel

See, the conqu'ring hero comes,
Sound the trupets, beat the drums.
Sports prepare, the laurel bring,
Songs of triumph to him sing;
Sports prepare, the laurel bring,
Songs of triumph to him sing.

See, the god like youth advance,
Breathe the flutes and lead the dance.
Myrtle wreaths and roses twine,
To deck the hero's brow divine.
See, the conqu'ring hero comes,
Sopund the trumpets, beat the drums.
