He Stood before the Court

Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 18:28-40, 19:1-26 Lyrics: 1 He stood before the court on trial instead of us; he met its pow'r to hurt, condemned to face the cross - our King, accused of treachery; our God, abused for blasphemy! 2 These are the crimes that tell the tale of human guilt; our sins, our death, our hell - on these the case is built. To this world's pow'rs the Lord stays dumb. The guilt is ours, no answers come. 3 The sentence must be passed, the unknown pris'ner killed; the price is paid at last, the law of God fulfilled. He takes our blame, and from that day th'accuser's claim is wiped away. 4 Shall we be judged and tried? In Christ our trial is done; we live, for he has died, our condemnation gone. In Christ are we both dead and raised, alive and free — his name be praised! Topics: Lent Used With Tune: MARLEE

As Royal Banners Are Unfurled

Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 18:33-37 Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled, the cross displays its mystery: the Maker of our flesh, in flesh, impaled and hanging helplessly. 2 Already deeply wounded: see his side now riven by a spear, and all our sins are swept away by blood and water flowing here. 3 See everything the prophets wrote fulfilled in its totality, and tell the nations of the world our God is reigning from the tree. 4 This tree, ablaze with royal light and with the blood-red robe it wears, is hallowed and embellished by the weight of holiness it bears. 5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms have gauged the price of wickedness; but, hanging here, his love outweighs hell's unforgiving bitterness. 6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice is, through his dying glorified; his life is overcome by death and leaps up, sweeping death aside. 7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope: God's passion set in time and space, by which our guilt is blotted out, engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: GONFALON ROYAL
