Messiah Selection 52 (soprano voice): If God be for us, who can be against us? Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?

Messiah Selections 47-51. (various voices) Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory.” …O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
