Part I, Recitative: For Behold, Darkness Shall Cover The Earth - Song:The People That Walked In The Darkness
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
The people that walked in darkness have seen the great light. And they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
