In Remembrance of Him


He was despised and rejected by men;
A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
And as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised,
And we esteemed him not.
Surely he has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions;
He was crushed for our iniquities;
Upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
And with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5-3
