Isaiah 42:1: Behold My Seri'ant, whom I uphold, &c

I Servant of God, and Son of Man,
Eternal Son of God most high,
Fulfil the great redeeming plan
Which brought Thee, Saviour, from the sky.
Anointed by His Spirit, and seal'd,
With all His glorious fulness fill'd.

His soul's Dehght, His Best-Beloved,
Give us Thyself and Him to know,
The righteousness by God approved
To us poor sinful Gentiles show:
The righteousness which faith imparts,
Impute, implant it in our hearts.
Not with a loud uplifted voice
Dost Thou compel mankind to hear,
With strife, and violence, and noise!
But when a soul inclines its ear,
Thou dost the prostrate sinner raise
By the soft whisper of Thy grace.
