THE SUFFERING SERVANT

See, my servant will prosper, he shall be lifted up,
exalted, rise to great heights.
As the crowds  were appalled on seeing him - so disfigured
did he look that he seemed no longer human -
so will the crowds be astonished at him,
and kings stand speechless before him;
for they shall see something never told and
witness something never heard before:
'who could believe what we have heard,
and to whom has the power of the Lord been revealed?
Like a sapling he grew up in front of us, like
a root in arid ground....

Man of Sorrows from Catholic Hymn Book
