Part the Second
Chorus Behold the Lamb of God
Air He was despised
Chorus Surely, He hath borne our griefs
Chorus And with His stripes we are healed
Chorus All we like sheep, have gone astray
Recitative All they that see Him, laugh Him to scorn
Chorus He trusted in God
Recitative Thy rebuke hath broken His heart
Arioso Behold, and see if there be any sorrow
Chorus Lift up your heads
Chorus The Lord gave the word
Air How beautiful are the feet
Chorus Hallelujah
Part the Third
Air I know that my Redeemer liveth
Chorus Since by man came death
Recitative Behold, I tell you a mystery
Air The trumpet shall sound
Chorus Worthy is the Lamb that was slain . . . Amen
