Comfort ye, my people -- Ev'ry valley shall be exalted -- And the glory of the Lord -- But who may abide -- And He shall purify -- Behold, a virgin shall conceive -- O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion -- For unto us a Child is born -- And the angel said unto them -- Glory to God -- Rejoice greatly -- He shall feed His flock -- All we like sheep have gone astray -- He that dwelleth in heaven -- Thou shalt break them -- Hallelujah -- I know that my Redeemer liveth -- The trumpet shall sound -- Worthy is the Lamb -- Amen.
