 and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6

*The Collect for Good Friday
Almighty God, we beseech you graciously to behold this your family, for which our Lord Jesus Christ was contented to be betrayed, and given up into the hands of wicked men, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end.
Amen!

Let not my wrongful enemies
Raise over me their joyful cries,

With secret scorning wink their eyes.

Against the men of peaceful mien;
They open wide their mouth at me
And say, “Aha! Our eyes have seen!”

Psalm 34:15–20 (Tune: Yorkshire, “Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn”)
Jehovah’s eyes are toward the righteous ones;
His ears are open to their ev’ry cry.
The LORD’s face is against all evil men
To cut off memory of them from earth.
The righteous cry; Jehovah hears and saves;
From all their troubles He delivers them.

The LORD is near to every broken heart,
And those who are in spirit crushed He saves.
Though many are the trials of the just,
The LORD delivers him from every one.
For He is safely keeping all his bones;
Not one of them can ever broken be.
