*He shall feed his flock (from Messiah, G.F. Handel)
Recit.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be open,
And the ears of the deaf unstopped
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart
And the tongue of the dumb shall sing.
Aria.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd
And He shall gather the lambs with His arms
And carry them in His bosom
And gently lead those that are with young.
(Isaiah 40:11)
