Lamb of God, Pure and Holy


Isaiah 50:5-10
The Lord GOD has opened my ear,
   and I was not rebellious;
   I turned not backward.

I gave my back to those who strike,
   and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
I hid not my face
   from disgrace and spitting.

But the Lord GOD helps me;
   therefore I have not been disgraced;
therefore I have set my face like a flint,
   and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
   Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
   Let him come near to me.

Behold, the Lord GOD helps me;
   who will declare me guilty?
Behold, all of them will wear out like a garment;
   the moth will eat them up.

Who among you fears the LORD
   and obeys
 the voice of his servant?
Let him who walks in darkness
   and has no light
trust in the name of the LORD
   and rely on his God.



Lamb of God, pure and holy,
    Who on the cross didst suffer,
Ever patient and lowly,
    Thyself to scorn didst offer.
All sins Thou borest for us,
Else had despair reigned o’er us:
    Have mercy on us, O Jesus! [O Jesus!]

    Thyself to scorn didst offer.

Else had despair reigned o’er us:
    Have mercy on us, O Jesus! [O Jesus!]

    Thyself to scorn didst offer.
All sins Thou borest for us,
Else had despair reigned o’er us:
    Thy peace be with us, O Jesus! [O Jesus!]
