Isaiah 53

Messiah Selections: 23. (alto) He was despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. …He gave His back to the smiters, and His cheeks to them that plucked off His hair: He hid not His face from shame and spitting. He was despised…[repeat]  (Isaiah 53:3, 6) 24. (chorus) Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows! He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. (Isaiah 53: 4-5) 25. (chorus) And with His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53: 5)26. (chorus) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way. And the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53: 6) 31.
