[FIRST ANGEL]
Arise, father Jacob, 'tis Joseph who calls thee

[JACOB]
'TIs night that is calling and death—

[SECOND ANGEL]
It is life, it is life that is calling to Jacob

[JACOB]
Inscrutable God, give time that I grasp this

[SECOND ANGEL]
The moment has come and thy journey begins

[JACOB]
My senses are fainting—

[FIRST ANGEL]
Behold, we shall guide thee to thy beloved son

[JOSEPH, addressing his brothers]
Rise up, and suffer remorse no more
The Lord is my shield
For your purpose was evil
But good was the purpose
He made you to serve
Not you, He brought me
A slave into Egypt
That I might prepare
A home and a faith
For Jacob's house
Come closer to me
My heart hears my father
Now let us go and meet him
[JACOB]
In peace can I die now
Because I have seen
Thy face, child of Rachel
That thou art alive
