Chorus Glory to God in the highest,
and peace on earth, good will towards
men. Chorus “He trusted in God that He
would deliver Him; let Him deliver
Him, if He delight in Him.”
Air Rejoice greatly, O daughter of
Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee;
He is the righteous Saviour, and He
shall speak peace unto the heathen. Recit Thy rebuke hath broken His
heart: He is full of heaviness. He
looked for some to have pity on Him,
but there was no man, neither found
He any to comfort Him.
Chorus His yoke is easy, and His
burthen is light. Air Behold, and see if there be any
sorrow like unto His sorrow.
Chorus 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, Lift up your heads, O
ye gates; and be lift up, ye everlasting
doors; and the King of Glory shall
come in. Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of
Glory.

PART TWO
Chorus Behold the Lamb of God, that
taketh away the sin of the world.
Air He was despised and rejected
of men, a man of sorrows and
acquainted with grief. He gave His
back to the smiters, and His cheeks to
them that plucked off the hair: He hid
not His face from shame and spitting.
Air Thou art gone up on high; Thou
hast led captivity captive, and
received gifts for men; yea, even from
Thine enemies, that the Lord God
might dwell among them.
Chorus Surely He hath borne our
griefs, and carried our sorrows! He
was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities; the
chastisement of our peace was upon
Him.
Chorus The Lord gave the word;
great was the company of the
preachers.
Air How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things.
Chorus And with His stripes we are
healed.
Air Why do the nations so furiously
rage together, and why do the people
imagine a vain thing? The kings of
the earth rise up, and the rulers take
counsel together against the Lord,
and against His Anointed.
Chorus All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way. And the Lord hath laid
on Him the iniquity of us all.
