He questioned with Him in many words; but He answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. (Luke 23:9‑10) |
He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth. (Isa. 53:7) |
We love Thee for the glorious worth Which in Thyself we see: We love Thee for that shameful cross, Endured so patiently. |
Though in the very form of God, With heavenly glory crowned, Thou didst a servant’s form assume, Beset with sorrow round. |
