He was despised and rejected - Holyweek

He was despised and rejected by all

A man of sorrows, 

a man of grief

As one from whom people hide 

their faces

He was despised without esteem

But he was 

wounded for our transgressions

And he was tortured for our iniquities

And His chastisement has brought us healing

And by his scourging we are made whole

He had no beauty that we should desire Him

His form disfigured, a worm, no man!

His comeliness and his beauty had vanished

For he was scorned, despised, oppressed

But he was 

wounded for our transgressions

And he was tortured for our iniquities

And His chastisement has brought us healing

And by his scourging we are made whole

The very stone which the builders rejected

Is now and ever 

the corner-stone

Let every knee bend to Jesus, our Savior

Each tongue confess that He is Lord!

But he was 

wounded for our transgressions

And he was tortured for our iniquities

And His chastisement has brought us healing

And by his scourging we are made whole
