10 The People That Walked in Darkness
11 For Unto Us a Child Is Born
12 There Were Shepherds

14 Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion
15 Then Shall the Eyes of the Blind Be Opened - He Shall Feed His Flock Like a Shepherd
16 His Yoke Is Easy
17 Behold the Lamb of God
18 He Was Despised

1 Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs
2 And with His Stripes We Are Healed
3 All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray
4 All They That See Him Laugh Him to Scorn
5 He Trusted in God
6 Thy Rebuke Hath Broken His Heart
7 Behold, and See
8 He Was Cut Off
9 But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul in Hell
10 Lift Up Your Heads
11 Unto Which of the Angels - Let All the Angels
12 Thou Art Gone Up on High
13 The Lord Gave the Word
14 How Beautiful Are the Feet

18 He That Dwelleth in Heaven - Thou Shalt Break Them
19 Hallelujah
20 I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
21 Since By Man Came Death
22 Behold, I Tell You a Mystery
23 The Trumpet Shall Sound
24 Then Shall Be Brought to Pass - O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?
25 But Thanks Be to God
26 If God Be for Us
27 Worthy Is the Lamb
28 Amen
