Messiah 24: Surely He hath borne our griefs

Isaiah 53:4-5
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

The last part of this verse doesn't come until the next chorus.

There doesn't seem to be much agreement on tempos for this piece. Some people take it very fast, and some take it very slow. We listened to a fast one right after several slow ones and it seemed extra fast!
