The Messiah, 1

I've begun my favorite Advent tradition, which is listening to Handel's Messiah, a lot.

I thought I'd include the words to one piece a day, and see where that takes us. God bless your Advent preparation.

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplish'd, 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.

(Isaiah 40:1-3)
