Songs of the Servant King

The Servant Songs are presented to us in language that has been described as some of the most beautiful poetry in Hebrew literature. They pass before the mind as a series of prophetic visions, a kind of prophetical anthology. Taken together, they reveal the purposes of God for the whole earth.Intertwined and developed in each of the four songs are two distinct ideas. The first is the servanthood of Christ; the second is His sovereignty. There are no songs comparable to the Songs of Zion, no orations equal to those of the prophets. –John Milton
