the complete work

PART 1: Sinfony -- Comfort ye, comfort ye my people -- Every 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 -- For unto us a child is born -- Pastoral symphony -- There were shepherds abiding in the fields -- And the angel said unto them -- And suddenly there was with the angels -- Glory to God in the highest -- Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion -- Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened -- And he shall feed his flock -- His yoke is easy. PART 2: Behold the lamb of God -- He was despised and rejected of men -- Surely, has hath borne our griefs -- And with his stripes we are healed -- All we like sheep have gone astray -- All they that see him -- He trusted in God -- Thy Rebuke hath broken his heart -- Behold and see -- He was cut off out of the land of the living -- But thou didst not leave his soul in hell -- Lift up your heads -- Unto which of the angels said he at any time -- Let all the angels of God worship him -- Thou art gone up on high -- The Lord gave the word -- How beautiful are the feet of them -- Their sound is gone out into all the lands -- Why do the nations so furiously rage together -- Let us break their bonds asunder -- He that swelleth in heaven -- Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron -- Hallelujah. PART 3: 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 is for us -- Worthy is the lamb/Amen
