MESSIAH.


PART I.

Recitative, accompany'd.

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.

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.
