He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions

Representative Text

1 Who hath believed after hearing the message,
To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
He shall grow up as a plant new and tender,
And as a root out of a barren field.

Refrain:
He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement of our peace was upon him,
And with his stripes we are healed.

2 He was despised and by all men rejected,
Weighted with sorrows, acquainted with grief;
Smitten, afflicted, by God was forsaken,
He suffered alone; no one could bring relief. [Refrain]

3 Like as a lamb he was bro’t to the slaughter,
Speechless as sheep to the shearers led;
He was cut off from the land of the living,
For our transgressions on Calv’ry bled. [Refrain]
