Messiah
Harry Christophers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ:
and He shall reign for ever and ever. King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Hallelujah!
The lyrics are a part of the chorus of Harry Christophers's song "Messiah". The song is an adaptation of the original "Messiah" composed by George Frideric Handel in 1741. The lyrics are based on the Book of Revelation in the Bible and talk about the reign of the Lord God who is omnipotent and eternal.
The first line "Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth" is a powerful declaration that the Lord God is mighty and all-powerful, and is reigning over the world. The second line "The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ" suggests that the world is now under the dominion of the Lord and His Christ, indicating the triumph of the divine over the earthly. The third line "and He shall reign for ever and ever" reinforces the eternal rule of the Lord God. The final line "King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Hallelujah!" magnifies the glory of the Lord God and His ultimate authority over all kingdoms, seen and unseen.

The best rendition of Messiah that I have found so far on YouTube, but then you can’t go wrong with Harry Christophers and the Sixteen. Thanks for uploading.

Flawless. Love that everyone plays a baroque instrument (or at least baroque bows in the string sections).

Encore une merveilleuse interprétation ! Bravo !

Bob Schober Outstanding performance. I own a copy of The Messiah by The Sixteen with Harry Christophers and its the best performance of the many I've heard.

01:43:20 And here is the mighty Crispian Steele-Perkins with his trumpet. The best companion for the no less extraordinary Michael George at his best.

Enregistrement ancien mais d'une très grande qualité d'interprétation musicale : fraîche & dynamique en quelque sorte pétillante comme le Champagne ! à consommer & écouter sans modération !

At the time this was written the composer has changed his name to George Frederick Handel, conforming to the English orthography in place of the German.
