A Marred Face And Queen Victoria

Let us continue to muse from Isaiah 52:13-15 and the theme of Isaiah’s Christ. In the days of Queen Victoria Handel had just written the hallelujah chorus. In the beginning it was the practice for people to stand in the part when they sang King of King’s and Lord of Lords. Queen Victoria  went to the production and when they reached the chorus of King of Kings and Lord of Lords to the gasp of the crowd Queen Victoria stood and dipped the crown in the midst of the common people. Queen Victoria was asked later by one of the reformers if she was a believer and she said yes I am. The reformer asked how did you get into the family of God and she said I got in on not many noble are chosen.
