RESPONSIVE READING

Isaiah 42:1-4 (RSV)

LEADER: Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in

whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him, he

will bring forth justice to the nations.

PEOPLE: He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in

the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly

burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring

forth justice.

ALL: He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established

justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
