He shall instruct many ...

If He instructed many
In righteousness
He would bear
Their iniquities.

If I was to be righteous,
Exposed by Him,
He must endure agonies
Unbearable to me.

My sins pronounced on
The Scapegoat's head
See the righteous One
Bear my iniquities.

And the many
Make that claim too:
The, we revert to Him for
Instruction in righteousness.

Sorry - not in the right order!

He ... was reckoned with the lawless

Though God saw His way perfected
Christ was beaten and rejected.

Though He walked in grace and meekness
He was crucified in weakness.

Though His earthly path was flawless
He was reckoned with the lawless.

Because he hath poured out his soul ...

View towards Edinburgh from Musselburgh

The blood of the covenant
Is poured out for us
For our liberation.

The drink-offering
Was poured out to God
For His satisfaction.

An ointment poured out
Is the name of Jesus
For our delectation,

Since He has poured out
His soul unto death
For our salvation.

Therefore will I assign him ...

Who are the great?
Who are the strong?
Compared to Him, none.

Yet God will assign Him
A portion with the great;
He will divide the spoil
With the strong.

If God has redeemed
His people and servants
With great power
And with a strong hand
In His hand it is
To make all great and strong.

Companions of the Christ.

And he shall bear their iniquities ...

If He instructed may
In righteousness
He would bare
Their iniquities.

If I was to be righteous,
Exposed by Him,
He must endure agonies
Unbearable to me.

My sins pronounced on
The Scapegoat's head,
See the Righteous One
Bear my iniquities.

And the many
Make the claim too:
Then, we revert to Him
For instruction in righteousness.

By his knowledge ...

By his knowledge ...
An inexhaustible well,
Not only because of who He is
But because of what He bore ...

Shall my righteous servant ...
An unstoppable service,
For His bored ear shows Him
A bondman for ever ...

Instruct many in righteousness ...
Beyond man's calculations,
The instruction, the company
And the righteousness.

He shall see of the fruit ...

There can be no soul
Like the soul of the Lord Jesus;

There can be no travail
Like the travail of His soul;

There can be no fruit
Like the fruit of the travail of His soul;

There can be no satisfaction
Like His satisfaction
With the fruit of the travail of His soul.

And the pleasure of Jehovah ...

The hand that took the cup
The Father gave

Is the hand that had held for washing
The disciples' feet.

When the Father's love gave all things
Into a proved Son's hand

He knew that Jehovah's pleasure
Would prosper in that hand.
