PART II.

CHORUS.

BEhold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the Sin of the World.

SONG.

He was deſpiſed and rejected of Men, a Man of Sorrows, and acquainted with Grief. He gave his Back to the Smiters, and his Cheeks to them that plucked off the Hair; he hid not his Face from Shame and Spitting. [Da Capo.

Chorus.

Surely he hath borne our Griefs, and carry'd our Sorrows: 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.
