About this hymn

Isaiah 53 repeatedly speaks of him without naming him, until listeners recognise him for themselves. Verse 4 says, “Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4). That final part searches us: those watching misunderstood him. First Peter 2:24 connects the passage directly to the cross. Beginning with a question, the song follows the passage's method, allowing people to recognise him step by step rather than giving the answer immediately. It suits Holy Week, especially alongside reading Isaiah 53.

When to use this hymn
