Overture | Comfort ye my people | Ev'ry valley shall be exalted | And the glory of the Lord | Thus saith the Lord of hosts | But who may abide the day of His coming | And he shall purify the sons of Levi | 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 have seen a great light | For unto us a Child is born | Pifa | There were shepherds abiding in the fields | And lo, the angel of the Lord | And the angel said unto them | And suddenly there was with the angel | Glory to God in the highest | Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion | Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened | He shall feed his flock like a shepherd | His yoke is easy | Behold the Lamb of God | He was despised and rejected of men | Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows | 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 that he would deliver him | Thy rebuke hath broken his heart | Behold and see if there be any sorrow | He was cut off | But thou didst not leave his soul in hell | Lift up your heads, O ye gates | Unto which of the angels | Let all the angels of God 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 with a rod of iron | Hallelujah | 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, who can be against us | Worthy is the Lamb. Amen | |
