The Complete Handel's Messiah: Recitative, Accompagnato, Chorus

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

~~~~~

19. Recitative (Soprano)

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart,
and the tongue of the dumb shall sing.
Isaiah 35:5-6

20. Aria

(Alto)
He shall feed His flock like a shepherd;
and He shall gather the lambs with His arm,
and carry them in His bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.
Isaiah 40:11

(Soprano)
Come unto Him, all ye that labour,
come unto Him that are heavy laden,
and He will give you rest.

Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him,
for He is meek and lowly of heart,
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29

21. Chorus

His yoke is easy,
and his burden is light.
Matthew 11:30
