Classic Poem

He was despised and rejected of men,
The man of many sorrows was taken and slain;
Cruel hands have nailed him upon the rugged tree,
And thus he suffered even death for me.
He was despised and rejected of men,
But by his stripes we're healed from the wounding of sin;
By his resurection from death and from the grave,
I am persuaded he alone can save.
He was despised and rejected of men,
Oh, sing the melting story again and again!
Tell it to the nations that all the world may know,
That from this fountain living waters flow.

Now thanks be to God! Thanks be to God!
Who giveth us the victory through Jesus' blood;
Over death he triumphed, and over all his foes,
The world's Redeemer from the grave arose!
