Thank you carolyn roosevelt for prrinting the beautiful words from Isaiah as we revel in elgar's wonderful music and performemce by the cambridge singers.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captive and recovery of sight to the blind; to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. To give unto them that mourn a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that he might be glorified. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. The Spirit of the the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel, From Isaiah 61, partly quoted by Jesus in the fourth chapter of Luke

Beautiful singing!!!
