HANDEL'S MESSIAH
Part I
The prophesy and realization of God's plan to redeem mankind by the coming of the Messiah

~~~~~

10. Accompagnato (Bass)

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people;

but the Lord shall arise upon thee,
and His glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,
and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Isaiah 60:2-3

11. Air (Bass)

The people that walked in darkness
have seen a great light;

and they that dwell
in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the Light shined.
Isaiah 9: 2
