Comfort ye my people -- Every valley shall be exalted -- And the glory of the Lord -- For unto us a child is born -- And suddenly there was with the angel -- Glory to God in the highest -- Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion -- He shall feed his flock -- Behold the Lamb of God -- Lift up your heads -- How beautiful are the feet -- Why do the nations so furiously rage together? -- Let us break their bonds asunder -- Hallelujah -- I know that my Redeemer liveth -- Behold, I tell you a mystery -- The trumpet shall sound -- Worthy is the Lamb ; Amen.
