Part One

Overture
Comfort ye
Ev'ry valley shall be exalted
And the Glory of 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
There were shepherds abiding in the field
And lo, the angel of hte 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 be opened
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd
His yoke is easy and His burthen is light

Part Two

Behold the Lamb of God
He was despised
Surely He hath 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 didst not leave His soul in hell
Lift up your heads, O ye gates
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/Thou shalt break them
Hallelujah

Part Three

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
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain/Amen
