Selections from Messiah

Part I (35")
Sinfony
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?
Behold, a virgin shall conceive
O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings to Zion
For unto us a Child is born
There were shepherds abiding in the field
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 in the highest
Rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion

- INTERMISSION (15") -

Part II (14")
Behold the Lamb of God
Surely, He hath borne our griefs
How beautiful are the feet
He that dwelleth in heaven
Thou shalt break them
Hallelujah

Part III (24")
I know that my Redeemer liveth
Since by man came death
Behold, I tell you a mystery
The trumpet shall sound
Worthy is the Lamb
Amen
