In this hymn, the first stanza echoes Jesus' words to Peter, and the following stanzas and refrain are our prayer back to Christ, in which we repeat that we are unable to attain righteousness in our own strength, but only through Jesus' blood, shed on the cross.

It was first published in in Sabbath Carols. The original text had five stanzas, but the standard text in modern hymnals contains four, some of which are substantially altered from the original.

African American Heritage Hymnal I hear the Savior say Tune Title: Most people in the world have no experience of lasting joy in their lives. All of our resources exist to guide you toward everlasting joy in Jesus Christ. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. There is no question who Isaiah is talking about here.

And this is one of the clearest passages in all of Scripture about what he has done for us. It is crystal clear, and it is simple. Isaiah tells us that he has borne grief and carried sorrow. He was pierced for transgressions, even crushed.

I hear the Savior say

Do you sense the wonder of what Jesus has done for you? By his wounds you have been healed. Jesus has died, and he has died for you. The stain of sin that marred your life has now been washed white as snow.
