Contents Part I: Sinfonia--Comfort ye my people--Ev'ry valley shall be exalted--And the glory of the Lord--Thus saith the Lord--But who may abide the day of his coming?--And he shall purify--Behold, a virgin shall conceive--O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion--For behold, darkness shall cover the earth--The people that walked in darkness--For unto us a child is born --Pifa (Pastoral Symphony)--(a)There were shepherds abiding in the field.(b) And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them--And the angel said unto them--And suddenly there was with the angel--Glory to God--Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion--Then shall the eyes of the blind--He shall feed his flock--His yoke is easy, and his burthen is light
Part II: Behold the Lamb of God--He was despised--Surely he has borne our griefs--And with his stripes we are healed--All we like sheep have gone astray--All they that see him laugh him to scorn--He trusted in God--Thy rebuke hath broken his heart--Behold and see if there be any sorrow--He was cut off out of the land of the living--But thou dids't not leave his soul in hell--Lift up your heads, O ye gates--Unto which of the angels said he at any time--Let all the angels worship him--Thou art gone up on high--The Lord gave the word--How beautiful are the feet--Their sound is gone out--Why do the nations so furiously rage together?--Let us break their bonds asunder--He that dwelleth in heaven--Thou shalt break them--Hallelujah
Part III: I know that my redeemer liveth--Since by man came death--Behold, I tell you a mystery--The trumpet shall sound--Then shall be brought to pass--O death, where is thy sting?--But thanks be to God--If God be for us--Worthy is the Lamb that was slain--Appendix: Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion--Thou art gone up on high--How beautiful are the feet--How beautiful are the feet...Break forth into joy--Their sound is gone out
