The King of Glory
Psalm 24:7-10, ERV
Even though Messiah tells the story of Jesus, whose life unfolds in the Bible’s New Testament, many of the lyrics come from the Old Testament, like this passage today from Psalms. Several passages from the prophet Isaiah that seem to refer to Jesus are among the most well known songs in Messiah and I have used those in previous posts in this series, links below.
We usually associate Messiah with Christmas, but Handel wrote it to be performed at Easter. He drew the words of the songs from Scripture, choosing passages that tell the story of God sending Jesus to earth to redeem His people.
