      Part One

        Sinfony (Overture)

        Comfort Ye

        Ev'ry Valley Shall Be Exalted

        And The Glory of the Lord

        Thus Saith the Lord

        But Who May Abide the Day of His Coming?

        And He Shall Purify

        Behold, A Virgin Shall Conceive

        His Yoke is Easy

      Part Two

        Behold the Lamb of God

        He Was Despised

        Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs

        And With His Stripes We are Healed

        All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray

        He was Cut Off Out of the Land of Living

        But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul in Hell

        Though Shalt Break Them

        Hallelujah

      Part Three

        I Know That My Redeemer Liveth

        Since by Man Came Death

        Worthy is the Lamb

        Amen
