{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
Handel's < strong >Messiah strong > < strong >Lyrics strong > Sinfonia (Overture). Tenor Recitative Isaiah 40:1-3. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the < strong >lord strong > ; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Tenor Air Isaiah 40:4. Ev'ry valley shall be exalted, and ev'ry mountain and hill made low; the crooked straight and the rough places plain. Chorus Isaiah 40:5. And the glory of the < strong >lord strong > shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the < strong >lord strong > hath spoken it. Bass Recitative Haggai 2:6-7; Malachi 3:1. Thus saith the < strong >lord strong > , the < strong >lord strong > of hosts: Yet once, a little while and I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
He gave His back to the smiters, and His cheeks to them that plucked off His hair: He hid not His face from shame and spitting. Chorus—Psalm 24:7-10 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
