Here Hangs a Man Discarded

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #203 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Adversity Lyrics: 1 Here hangs a man discarded, a scarecrow hoisted high, a nonsense pointing nowhere to all who hurry by. 2 Can such a clown of sorrows still bring a useful word when faith and love seem phantoms and every hope absurd? 3 Yet here is help and comfort for lives by comfort bound, when drums of dazzling progress give strangely hollow sound: 4 Life, emptied of all meaning, drained out in bleak distress, can share in broken silence our deepest emptiness; 5 And love that freely entered the pit of life's despair, can name our hidden darkness and suffer with us there. 6 Christ, in our darkness risen, help all who long for light to hold the hand of promise, till faith receives its sight. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Languages: English

In Christ we ow to serve the weak and lobby for the dispossessed. 4 And if we find out how and when to show them they are not alone, we will not proudly be their voice, but humbly help them find their own. 5 Their kindness, anger, or distrust are angels, calling us to see the fear, the need to have and hold, that frame our own captivity. 6 In Christ we live, and life is more than learning love and doing good, so praise, and pray, and trust in God who makes the earth our neighborhood.
