SELECTIONS TO BE PERFORMED:

Sinfony
Comfort ye my people
Ev’ry valley shall be exalted
And the glory of the Lord
Thus saith the Lord of hosts
But who may abide the day of His coming
Behold, a virgin shall conceive
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion
For unto us a child is born
Pifa, ‘Pastoral symphony’
There were shepherds abiding in the fields
And lo, the angel of the Lord
And the angel said unto them
And suddenly there was with the angel
Glory to God in the highest
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion
Behold the Lamb of God
He was despised and rejected of men
And with his stripes we are healed
All we like sheep have gone astray
Thy rebuke hath broken his heart
He was cut off
But thou didst not leave his soul in hell
Hallelujah
I know that my Redeemer liveth
Since by man came death
Behold, I tell you a mystery
The trumpet shall sound
Worthy is the Lamb
Amen
