Saul, HWV 53 : Act I, Scene II, Air. "While Yet Thy Tide" (High Priest)
While yet thy tide of blood runs high
To God thy future life devote
Thy early vigour all apply
His glorious service to promote
So shall thy great Creator bless
And bid thy days serenely flow
So shall thy youthful happiness
In age no diminution know
With sweet reflections thou shalt taste
Declining gently to thy tomb
The pleasure of good actions past
And hope with rapture joys to come
To God thy future life devote
Thy early vigour all apply
His glorious service to promote
So shall thy great Creator bless
And bid thy days serenely flow
So shall thy youthful happiness
In age no diminution know
With sweet reflections thou shalt taste
Declining gently to thy tomb
The pleasure of good actions past
And hope with rapture joys to come
