The Trumpet's Loud Clangor by George Fredrick Handel — Lyrics

The trumpet's loud clangor excites us to arms, excites us to arms, to arms, to arms, The trumpet's loud clangor excites us to arms. With shrill notes of anger and mortal alarms, With shrill notes of anger, with shrill notes of anger and mortal alarms. The double double double beat of the thundring drum cries, hark! hark! Cries, hark! the foes come Charge, charge, charge, charge, charge 'tis too late, 'tis too late to retreat Hark! the foes come 'tis too late to retreat The double double double beat of the thundring drum Cries hark the foes come Charge, charge, charge, charge, charge 'tis too late 'tis too late to retreat Charge, charge, charge, charge 'tis too late, too late to retreat The trumpet's loud clangour excites us to arms To arms, to arms, excites us to arms To arms, to arms, excites us to arms. With shrill notes of anger and mortal alarms With shrill notes of anger and mortal alarms The double double double beat of the thundring drum cries Hark! Hark! Hark! Hark! the foes come Charge! charge charge charge charge Hark! Hark! Hark! Hark! the foes come Charge charge charge charge 'tis too late to retreat 'tis too late to retreat 'tis too late to retreat Hark! Hark! Hark! the foes come Charge charge charge charge charge 'tis too late, too late to retreat Hark! the foes come Charge charge 'tis too late 'tis too late to retreat Charge 'tis too late, too late to retreat
