Yet God shall raise his head on high

Verse 1

Yet God shall raise his head on high, though thus he brought him low; his sacred off’ring, when complete, shall terminate his woe.

Verse 2

For, saith the Lord, my pleasure then shall prosper in his hand; his shall a num’rous off-spring be, and still his honours stand.

Verse 3

His soul, rejoicing, shall behold the purchase of his pain; and all the guilty whom he sav'd shall bless Messiah’s reign.

Verse 4

He with the great shall share the spoil, and baffle all his foes; though rank'd with sinners, here he fell, a conqueror he rose.

Verse 5

He dy'd to bear the guilt of men, that sin might be forgiv’n: he lives to bless them and defend, and plead their cause in heav’n.
