The first Bible text in this weeks lesson, Isaiah 53:5, 6, reminded me of two songs from Handel’s “Messiah” ; Chorus 24 “Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs” and “No 26 Chorus “ All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray”. The Memory Text then follows the story very closely with many beautiful hymns of the story of the cross: Hymn 237, “In The Cross of Christ I Glory”, Hymn 303 “Beneath The Cross Of Jesus, Hymn 154 “When I Survey The Wondrous Cross”, Hymn 328 “Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone”, just to name a few.
