This is part ll movement in Messiah by George Frideric Handel.

Messiah

(HWV 56) is an English-language oratorio composed by George Frideric Handel, and is one of the most popular works in the Western choral literature.

George Frideric Handel (German: Georg Friedrich Händel) (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German-born British Baroque composer, famous for his operas, oratorios, anthems and organ concertos. By then he was strongly influenced by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition.
After his success with Messiah (1742) he never performed an Italian opera again. Almost blind, and having lived in England for almost fifty years, he died a respected and rich man.
Handel is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time, with works such as  
Water Music,

Music for the Royal Fireworks 

and Messiah remaining popular. Handel composed more than forty operas in over thirty years, and since the late 1960s, with the revival of baroque music and original instrumentation, interest in Handel's operas has grown.

Messiah, composed in London during the summer of 1741 and premiered in Dublin, Ireland on 13 April 1742, it was repeatedly revised by Handel, reaching its most familiar version in the performance to benefit the Foundling Hospital in 1754.
 
 The Musick Hall in Fishacre Street, Dublin, where Messiah was first performed.

The work conceived as an oratorio in three parts, which he described as
Part One (18 songs): The prophecy and realization of God's plan to redeem mankind by the coming of the Messiah.

Scene 2: The prophecy of the coming of the Messiah
