(\'Blest are the pure in heart\')
Isaiah 42 v.1-4
*********
Behold, my servant, I
Am always Him close by
Christ my Son He be, my chosen
One, to do my will then
In Him my soul delights
He e\'er is in my sight
I have put my spirit upon
Him, yes my chosen one
He shall bring forth justice
Shall not cry out, true this
Nor raise His voice, nor shouting loud
Not be boastful or proud
A bruised reed shall He not
Break, but shall save its lot
A smoking flax, dimly burning
He shall not quench, but bring
Bring forth justice, judgement
My Son from heaven sent
Shall not be discouraged nor fail
Judgement, truth shall prevail
