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.

Recitative: "Thus Saith the Lord of Hosts" Mr. Porter Thus saith the Lord of Hosts; —Yet once a little while and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations and the desire of all nations shall come. The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in; Behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of Hosts. Air: "But Who May Abide" Mr. Porter But who may abide the day of His coming, and who shall stand when He appeareth? For He is like a refiner's fire.

Recitative: "And Lo! the Angel of the Lord" Mrs. Garretson And lo! the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid. Recitative: "And the Angel Said Unto Them" Mrs. Garretson And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Recitative: "And Suddenly There Was With the Angel" .... Mrs. Garretson And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heav- enly host praising God, and saying: Chorus: "Glory to God" Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, good will to- wards men. Chorus: "Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs" Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. Offertory: "Prayer" Miss Lancaster Chorus: "Since By Man Came Death" Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Chorus: "Hallelujah" Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever. King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah!
