Page (Bell Choir) * RESPONSIVE CALL TO WORSHIP: Isaiah 53: 4-8 Leader: Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering, Congregation: yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by Him, and afflicted. Leader: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; Congregation: the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Leader: We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; Congregation: and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Leader: He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; Congregation: He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He did not open his mouth.
