Messiah: No. 45 I know that my Redeemer liveth

The text is from Job 19:25-26:  "25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.  26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God." and 1 Corinthians 15:20:  "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep."
