Servant Sensibility

Tune: St Peter

(\'How sweet the name of Jesus sounds\')

Isaiah 42 v.1-4

*********

See my servant whom I uphold

He Shepherd of the fold

My chosen one, God\'s servant He

Christ Jesus His Son be

 

The Lord\'s Spirit is on Him sure

He shall do justice pure

Shall not cry out, nor His voice raise

But bring salvation\'s days

 

Shall not be shouting harsh or shrill

Not wish to any ill

Not boasting, proud, but humble He

Obedient will be

 

A bruised reed shall He not break, for

He it shall true restore

Smoking flax, dimly burning light

Not quench, but re-ignite

 

He shall not fail nor discouraged

Be, but as encouraged

Shall set His judgements here below

E\'en coasts His law shall know
