PROGRAMME

Part One

Sinfonia
Comfort ye my people
Ev'ry valley
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"
There were shepherds abiding in the fields
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

INTERVAL

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 high
How beautiful are the feet of them
Why do the nations so furiously rage together?
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 mistery
The trumpet shall sound
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
