Suffering Servant - Isaiah Series (20)

Tune: Passion Chorale

(\'O sacred head, sore wounded\')

Isaiah 53 v.1-6

**********

Who has believed our report

Heard of it, has been taught?

To whom is the LORD\'s power

Revealed now in this hour?

Christ the suffering servant

He God the Father\'s Son

Grows up as a plant tender

With Father\'s will concurs

 

And as a root from dry ground

No form, comeliness found

But plain, and beautifully

He shall not appear, see

He not desired naturally

Despised, rejected be

Man of sorrows, grief knowing

We hid from His showing

 

But surely He our griefs ill

Has borne, as Father wills

Carried our sorrows and pains

That in Him life we gain

Though we did count Him stricken

Oppressed by God and men

Yet He wounded for our sins

To cleanse us from within

 

And He bruised, pierced for us too

On the cross Him we view

He chastised was for our peace

To bring us our release

Our salvation, though He be

Beaten, afflicted, see

We like sheep lost in our wat

Still Christ does for us pray
