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.
