The Prodigal Son
No. 16: RECIT. & ARIA (TENOR)
MIDI File [11K, 3'20"]
Recit.
No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous;
nevertheless, afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness:
for whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth,
and scourgeth ev'ry son whom He receiveth.
Aria
Come, ye children, and hearken unto me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Come, ye children, and hearken unto me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord,
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Lo! the poor crieth,
and the Lord heareth him;
lo, the poor crieth,
and the Lord heareth him,
yea, and saveth him out of all his trouble.
Lo! the poor crieth,
and the Lord heareth him.
Come, ye children, and hearken unto me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
O come, O come, and I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me.
