I.
Awake, Cœlestial Harmony!Awake, Cœlestial Harmony!
Turn thy Vocal Sphere around,
Goddess of Melodious Sound.
Let the Trumpet's shrill Voice,
And the Drum's thundring Noise,
Rouze ev'ry dull Mortal from Sorrows profound.

The mighty Pow'r of Harmony!
Behold how soon its Charms can chase
Grief and Gloom from ev'ry Face!
How swift its Raptures fly,
And thrill thro' ev'ry Soul, and brighten ev'ry Eye!
