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. The Songs are so clearly messianic it is not difficult to see their reference to the Lord Jesus Christ, and their ultimate fulfilment in Him. Intertwined and developed in each of the four songs there are two distinct ideas. The first is the servanthood of Christ; and the second is His sovereignty. Hence the title of this volume, Songs of the Servant King.
