Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:10-12 Lyrics: 1 Who has believ'd thy Word,
Or that Salvation known?
Reveal thine Arm, Almighty Lord,
And glorify thy Son.
2 The Jews esteem'd Him here
Too mean for their Belief;
Sorrows his chief Acquaintance were,
And his Companion, Grief.
3 They turn'd their Eyes away,
And treated Him with Scorn;
But 'twas their Griefs upon him lay,
Their Sorrows he has borne.
4 'Twas for the stubborn Jews,
And Gentiles then unknown,
The God of Justice pleas'd to bruise
His best-beloved Son.
5 "But I'll prolong his Days,
"And make his Kingdom stand;
"My Pleasure, (saith the God of Grace)
"Shall prosper in his Hand.
[6 "His joyful Soul shall see
"The Purchase of his Pain
"And by his Knowledge justify
"The guilty Sons of Men.]
[7 "Ten Thousand Captive Slaves,
"Releas'd from Death and Sin,
"Shall quit their Prisons and their Graves
"And own his Pow'r Divine.]
8 "Heav'n shall advance my Son
"To Joys that Earth deny'd;
"Who saw the Follies Men had done,
"And bore their Sins, and dy'd." Topics: Christ Humiliation and Exaltation; Christ Rejected by the Jews
