O THOU THAT TELLEST GOOD TIDINGS TO ZION by George Fredrick Handel — Lyrics

RECITATIVE Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Emmanuel, "God with us." AIR O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain, O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength: lift it up, be not afraid: say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! behold your God! behold your God! O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, arise, shine, for thy light is come, arise, arise, shine, for thy light is come: and the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord is risen, is risen upon thee, is risen, is risen upon thee. the glory, the glory, the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. CHORUS O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, good tidings to Jerusalem, arise, say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee, O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, say unto the cities of Judah, behold, behold, the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord, the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
