Deep were his wounds, and red
He Stood before the Court
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1838 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals 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; Lent Used With Tune: MARLEE
He Stood before the Court
