(Recitative)
From harmony, from heav'nly harmony
This universal frame began

(Accompagnato)
When nature underneath a heap
Of jarring atoms lay
And could not heave her head
The tuneful voice was heard from high:
"Arise! Ye more than dead."
Then cold, and hot, and moist and dry
In order to their stations leap
And music's pow'r obey

(Chorus)
From harmony, from heav'nly harmony
This universal frame began
From harmony to harmony
Through all the compass of the notes it ran
The diapason closing full in man

(Soprano Air)
What passion cannot music raise and quell!
When Jubal struck the chorded shell
His list'ning brеthren stood around
And wond'ring, on their faces fеll
To worship that celestial sound
Less than a god they thought there could not dwell
Within the hollow of that shell
That spoke so sweetly and so well
What passion cannot music raise and quell!
