  • Summary

  • Handel’s sacred oratorio known simply as, Messiah, tells the biblical story of God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ. Since its first debut in 1742, the Messiah continues to minister to audiences globally and is regularly performed during Christmas and Easter.

    Join us this Advent season as we draw upon the music and biblical lyrics of Handel’s Messiah to help us prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Each song of Messiah features bible passages drawn primarily from the King James Version of the Bible.

    No. 2 Recitative

    Comfort Ye

    “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: for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”
    – Isaiah 40:1–3
