1. Comfort ye, my people -- Ev\u0027ry valley shall be exalted -- And the glory of the Lord -- But who may abide -- And He shall purify -- Behold, a virgin shall conceive -- O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion -- For unto us a child is born ; And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them -- And the angel said unto them ; And suddenly there was with the angel ; Glory to God --Rejoice greatly -- He shall feed His flock -- Why do the nations? -- He that dwelleth in heaven ; Thou shalt break them -- Hallelujah -- I know that my Redeemer liveth -- Amen.
